Digital and Communications Manager

Health disparities among New Yorkers are large, persistent, and increasing. Public Health Solutions (PHS) exists to change that trajectory and support underserved New Yorkers and their families to achieve optimal health and build pathways to reach their potential. As the largest public health nonprofit serving New York City, we improve health outcomes and help communities thrive by providing direct services to underserved families, supporting community-based organizations through our long-standing public-private partnerships, and bridging the gap between healthcare and community services.
PHS administers WholeYouNYC, a coordinated community resource network that builds trustworthy and reliable pathways between healthcare providers, health plans and CBOs providing critical resources in the community that address the social drivers of health. WholeYouNYC brings together over 200 organizations offering various programs

such as food, housing, employment, health insurance, and sexual health services

across all five boroughs. These services and programs make it possible for New Yorkers to live their healthiest lives and ultimately reduce health disparities and advance health equity.
New York State (NYS) invested $500M statewide to support Social Care Network (SCN) lead entities responsible for integrating social care into the Medicaid program across the state. PHS' WholeYouNYC was awarded the Social Care Network infrastructure grant for Brooklyn, Queens, and Manhattan.
This is a grant-funded position ending March 31, 2027.
