LMAS District Health Department is accepting applications for a Community Health Worker (CHW) to serve in Luce and Mackinac counties. The CHW will facilitate needed health and human services for pregnant mothers/infants with history of, current or at risk for, substance use disorders to secure better health outcomes.

Possession of a high school diploma or equivalent is required, CHW credentials and experience with social services, substance use disorders and public health is preferred. Possession of a valid MI driver's license, reliable transportation, and ability to travel is required. Excellent customer service skills, knowledge of maternal/infant health, and knowledge of core functions and essential services or public health is a plus.
