About Us

At IMPaCT Care, we get out of bed every day to remake the American health workforce. We find, train, and enable Community Health Workers — caring people who keep their communities healthy. We've built the largest, most scientifically-proven Community Health Worker platform in the country, now active across 22 states and trusted by over 70 organizations, including Kaiser Permanente.

We are currently hiring Community Health Workers to serve PG County in partnership with Kaiser Permanente. If hired, you will work directly for IMPaCT Care.

ABOUT THE ROLE

As a Community Health Worker, you’ll be a vital link between high-risk patients and the care and services they need. You’ll do this through trust, cultural understanding, and hands-on problem-solving — working in the community, not behind a desk.

WHO YOU ARE

You are someone your community already knows and trusts — a neighbor, a peer, an advocate who has walked the path your clients are on. That lived experience is the foundation of this work. It's what opens doors that credentials alone cannot.

But trust gets you in the door — skills are what make the difference once you're there. You also bring real working knowledge of community health, social services, or peer support. You know how to navigate systems, coordinate care, and follow through in ways that actually move the needle for clients.

The combination of both is what makes an exceptional CHW.
