San Francisco is working to strengthen how its public health system delivers coordinated, integrated care by improving how internal systems support population health management and service alignment. The FUSE Executive Fellow will align workflows, clarify roles, and strengthen coordination within and across the San Francisco Department of Public Health’s (DPH) San Francisco Health Network and Behavioral Health Services to support more consistent and effective implementation of population health management strategies.

Ultimately, this work will improve access to timely, coordinated care and strengthen long-term health outcomes for DPH patients. This fellowship is part of FUSE’s two-year model, with Year One focused on advancing coordination, strategy, and early implementation, and Year Two focused on building on this progress to deepen impact and support sustained, long-term outcomes.

This fellowship is pending legislative approval by the City & County of San Francisco.
