Bachelor’s Level Case Planner

< Back to all jobs

To assist in achieving this mission, NAC is currently seeking a Case Planner to join its Special Medical Prevention Program.

Our Prevention program delivers a range of clinical, case management, and supportive services to families who are child-welfare involved and caring for children diagnosed with chronic or complex medical conditions.  The goal is for families to remain intact while ensuring caregivers receive the appropriate support to meet all of their children’s physical, developmental, and mental health needs.
