How to Apply for Program Associate - Stakeholder Engagement Coordinator (Fresno, Hanford, Madera)
at Transform Health
🏢 About Transform Health
Transform Health is a mission-driven, women and minority-owned healthcare consulting firm focused on driving systems change to build healthy communities. What makes them unique is their commitment to health policy and health system transformation with a community-driven approach, particularly in underserved areas like California's Central Valley. Someone might want to work here to contribute to meaningful change in healthcare access and equity while being part of a diverse, purpose-driven team.
About This Role
This Program Associate role serves as a Stakeholder Engagement Coordinator specifically for Fresno, Hanford, and Madera counties, requiring in-person meetings across these regions while being remote-based. The position involves managing projects from planning to completion, creating communications with stakeholders, developing training content, and writing program reports in accessible language. It's impactful because you'll be directly facilitating community-driven change in healthcare systems across three key Central Valley counties.
💡 A Day in the Life
A typical day might start with checking project management workflows to track deadlines and deliverables, followed by preparing for in-person stakeholder meetings in one of the three counties. You might spend the afternoon developing training content in Canva or PowerPoint, writing program reports in accessible language, and coordinating schedules for upcoming community engagements, all while maintaining clear communications with both internal team members and external stakeholders.
