University of Utah Health seeks staff that are committed to the values of compassion, collaboration, innovation, responsibility, diversity, integrity, quality and trust that are integral to our mission.
Center Background: The University of Utah Population Health Center aligns the full strengths of the University, the State, and the Community to create sustainable population health models and address unmet needs driving health disparities in some of University of Utah Health’s most at-risk patient populations. The Center also serves as a “learning lab” for novel care models aiming to improve outcomes and decrease the total cost care for well-defined University of Utah Health patient populations. The Intensive Outpatient Clinic, the Newcomer Clinic, and the Rose Park Student-Involved Clinic make up the Center’s current clinical programs with ongoing efforts to develop deeper ties with the on-site School of Dentistry Clinic and Department of Psychology to support oral and behavioral health integration.
A brief description of each clinic is included below:
Intensive Outpatient Clinic ( IOC ): Provides high-quality, cost-effective primary care & behavioral health services to a targeted medically and behaviorally complex patient population under a Medicaid value-based arrangement.
Newcomer Clinic: Provides refugee health screenings and continuity visits for approximately 75% of the State of Utah’s incoming refugee populations.
Rose Park | Student-Involved Clinic: Integrates University learners into a primary care practice to provide exceptional access to clinical services for patient populations in the neighboring communities.
The Center is also evaluating additional novel clinical programs and aligned community partnerships to sustainably enhance existing programs and to expand high-impact and financially sustainable service offerings for new, targeted patient populations.
Corporate Overview: The University of Utah is a Level 1 Trauma Center and is nationally ranked and recognized for our academic research, quality standards and overall patient experience. Our five hospitals and eleven clinics provide excellence in our comprehensive services, medical advancement, and overall patient outcomes.
