Healthcare Administrator
Open Door Clinic – Vancouver, Washington
Full-Time | Benefits Included
About Open Door Clinic
Open Door Clinic is a new sexual health clinic based in Clark County, Washington. We have not yet opened our doors. We plan to open this year and offer services to all patients, regardless of ability to pay. We will begin with one-day-a-week services for:
- Walk-in STI testing and treatment
- HIV prevention (including Preexposure Prophylaxis and Postexposure Prophylaxis)
- HIV treatment
- Anal cancer screening and prevention
The clinic is currently owned and operated by a single physician (Dr. Jonathan Armstrong, MD—a family medicine doctor, HIV specialist, and high resolution anoscopist) with plans to transition to a worker-owned cooperative model within the next three years, in which all clinic staff will collectively share ownership of the organization. This means that each worker of the clinic will take part in deciding how the business is run and what to do with the profits.
As the clientele grows, we plan to expand clinic hours to a full-time, 5-day-a-week clinic, and broaden our scope of services to include primary care/family medicine. We also would like to add additional providers in the future.
Because we would like to offer services to all people, including uninsured and underinsured individuals, we will need to explore funding streams in addition to medical insurance reimbursements. This may include grant funding, industry funded research projects, and 340B pharmacy pricing. The Healthcare Administrator will need to take part in managing and assisting with applications for these programs.
We are seeking a Healthcare Administrator who is excited about helping build a mission-driven clinic from the ground up and supporting long-term growth into a full scope primary care, worker-owned cooperative healthcare practice.
