Health Writer

HealthBegins is looking for a health writer to research, write, and revise 2 articles per month (500-1500 words each) highlighting important ideas and best practices in the movement for the healthcare industry to advance health equity. Founded by physicians and public health experts, HealthBegins is a social enterprise that believes that health care is better when it routinely addresses “upstream” social and environmental conditions that make people sick, especially for our most vulnerable patients and communities. HealthBegins advances a culture of health by mobilizing and equipping health professionals to improve care and the social and structural determinants of health, including structural racism. Drawing on firsthand experience of building and leading healthcare improvements, HealthBegins is a leading network for “Upstreamists,” professionals who systematically integrate clinical care and community health efforts. We provide strategic consulting, improvement, and training solutions. Led by Dr. Rishi Manchanda, HealthBegins has activated thousands of providers, educators, payers, and community partners around the world to improve care and the social factors that make people sick in the first place. The health writer will research, write, and revise up to 2 articles per month that share leading ideas and best practices in health equity and upstream care, as well as highlights of HealthBegins’ work. These articles will engage and inform readers from HealthBegins’ core audiences/community, ensure consistency of HealthBegins’ brand and voice, and support HealthBegins’ communications strategy and online community engagement.
