Utah Healthcare Corps - Center for HOPE Patient Navigator

Have you ever helped a family member or friend receive healthcare services? Do your neighbors or friends come to you for help? Are there things harming your community that you feel passionate about changing? If the answer to any of these questions is "yes," this might be the service opportunity for you. Patient Navigators (PNs) are trusted, knowledgeable frontline health personnel who typically come from the communities they serve.
