RIGHT 360, a nonprofit organization and a family of programs, is committed to providing accessible and comprehensive healthcare services to vulnerable populations. Our mission is to tackle systemic barriers to healthcare and promote health equity for all. We offer a wide range of services, including mental health care, residential and outpatient substance use treatment, and primary health services. Additionally, we provide transitional support for individuals re-entering the community after involvement in the criminal justice system.

By integrating physical and behavioral health, we empower individuals to overcome challenges by addressing social determinants of health, fostering resilience, and facilitating recovery.

CalAIM, a Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) initiative, aims to improve Medi-Cal recipients' quality of life and health outcomes through system reforms. It introduces Enhanced Care Management (ECM), a statewide Medi-Cal Managed Care Plan (MCP), that offers a person-centered, community-based highest care management tier within the Medi-Cal MCP Population Health Management continuum. Participating members are assigned a Case Manager who will meet them wherever they are: on the street, in a shelter, in their provider's office, or at home to coordinate their health-related care and services, ensuring a holistic approach to their well-being.

In addition, ECM offers community-based services to address health-related social needs to help members live healthier lives and avoid more costly levels of care. Some examples include support to secure and maintain housing, access to medically tailored meals for short-term recovery, and various other community-based services.

This is a primarily field-based role with the option to work remotely up to two (2) days per week after the successful completion of the probationary period, based on program needs and supervisor approval. Remote work flexibility is subject to change in accordance with the organization's policies.
