National Health Corps (NHC) is an AmeriCorps service program administered by The Health Federation of Philadelphia
关于我们
The National Health Corps is an AmeriCorps program whose mission is to foster healthy communities by delivering and connecting those who need it most with health and wellness education, benefits and services, while developing tomorrow's compassionate health leaders. Through our partnership with AmeriCorps, we work to fulfill our mission each year by recruiting, training, and placing emerging leaders in resource-limited organizations throughout Chicago, North Florida, Philadelphia, San Francisco, and Pittsburgh. NHC members complete at least 1,700 hours of service during their service terms, which usually last 42-46 weeks, in support of this mission. Members conduct service activities at NHC partner organizations, called “host sites,” that typically focus on one or more of three main focus areas: 1) addressing the opioid and prescription drug overuse crisis, 2) increasing older adults’ ability to remain in their homes with the same or improved quality of life for as long as possible; and 3) increasing physical activity and improving nutrition with the purpose of reducing obesity and related chronic conditions. Members are assigned a host site mentor who provides the member with mentorship and access to training/professional development opportunities at the host site. Members also participate in ongoing training, professional development, team-building, and opportunities for additional outside/group service and committee activities. NHC and its partners strive to ensure that members can contribute substantively to the capacity and reach of their host sites, and have a rewarding experience that exposes them to a variety of health-focused careers and settings.

The National Network of Public Health Institutes (NNPHI) hosted the Open Forum 2024 event here in Chicago on September 18-20, 2024. Alisha Jani, Program Manager for AmeriCorps and Workforce Development attended and was accepted to present a poster on inspiring the next generation of diverse workforce. The NNPHI Open Forum 2024 conference focused on the future of public health and healthcare workforce training, support, and mentorship needed to create pathways to leadership opportunities. Alisha presented strategies from PHIMC on workforce areas around increasing storytelling with connections from the community, training to support intersectional identities, and mentorship for individuals to further in public health and healthcare leadership positions. There were inspiring speakers and sessions from government agencies, health departments, and organizations in the workforce development spaces to collaborate on the need for increased pathways for individuals with lived expertise in these fields.

In June, Kelly Hiznay, NHC Chicago Program Coordinator facilitated by PHIMC, attended the Points of Light 2024 Conference. She had a great time in Houston learning about volunteer management, generation, recognition, and retention. Kelly was able to meet Michael D. Smith, CEO, AmeriCorps, volunteer managers from across the country, and other AmeriCorps program managers from Chicago. It was thrilling being surrounded by others that believe in "leading change together." #NHCChicago #PHIMC #AmeriCorps #GettingThingsDone #PointsofLight

?? Celebrating Juneteenth! ?? Today, we honor Juneteenth, a pivotal moment in American history marking the emancipation of enslaved African Americans. On June 19, 1865, freedom finally reached the last enslaved individuals in Galveston, Texas, two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation. This day reminds us of the resilience, strength, and enduring spirit of the Black community. As we celebrate, let's reflect on the progress made and recognize the work still needed to achieve true equality. It's a time for us to listen, learn, and act to support diversity, equity, and inclusion in all areas of our lives. In our NHC family, we are committed to fostering an environment where every voice is heard and valued. Today, we stand in solidarity, celebrating freedom, and renewing our commitment to justice and equality for all. Happy Juneteenth! ????????? #Juneteenth #FreedomDay #DiversityAndInclusion #EqualityForAll
