GENERAL SUMMARY/ OVERVIEW STATEMENT:
The Community Health Worker will support patients in the Gynecology Practice at Massachusetts General Hospital by identifying and connecting people with resources to help address critical needs in housing, food security, and childcare to improve peri-operative planning and management. The Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at MGH offers patient-centered gynecologic care for a culturally and socioeconomically diverse population. We are committed to providing equitable, outstanding, and comprehensive gynecology care in a culturally sensitive environment. We are endeavoring to improve equity in access to timely gynecologic surgery by introducing a program of screening for Social Determinants of Health (SDOH). Identifying systemic barriers to prompt surgical treatment of gynecologic conditions will help us to remove these barriers and increase equity and access for our most vulnerable patients to surgical treatment. The Community Health Worker position has been created to facilitate this new program.
