You’ll use your clinical expertise to identify community health needs, remove barriers to care, connect individuals and organizations with the right MUSC Health resources, and champion initiatives that promote healthy aging, wellness, prevention, healthcare access, and population health.

Instead, you’ll have the opportunity to influence health at the community level—bringing people, providers, programs, and resources together to create meaningful and measurable impact.

You’ll attend community meetings, lead and support educational events, participate in wellness initiatives, and identify new opportunities to expand MUSC Health’s reach and impact. Make Healthcare Easier to AccessYour clinical knowledge will help you connect people and organizations to the right care, provider, service, wellness program, or community resource at the right time. You’ll identify barriers to care, facilitate referrals and communication, promote preventive services and screenings, and help community partners navigate the healthcare resources available through MUSC Health. Champion Healthy AgingYou’ll play a key role in initiatives designed to help older adults live healthier, more active, and more fulfilling lives. You’ll collaborate with community partners to identify priorities, coordinate health education and wellness programs, support screenings and outreach events, and encourage participation in evidence-based preventive health and wellness programs. Turn Data Into ActionThis role is about more than building relationships—it’s about demonstrating results. You’ll monitor participation, referral activity, partnership development, engagement trends, and program outcomes. You’ll use data, stakeholder feedback, and community health information to evaluate what’s working, identify opportunities, and recommend strategies that improve access and community impact. Connect the Community to MUSC HealthYou’ll collaborate with Business Health leadership, divisional leaders, physician practices, service lines, Marketing, and other MUSC teams to bring community priorities and MUSC resources together. You’ll help create innovative approaches that expand access, strengthen partnerships, increase awareness of MUSC Health services, and advance OneMUSC strategic priorities.

What Success Looks Like: In this role, success means more than completing a list of activities. Success looks like: A community partner who knows exactly where to turn when their residents or employees need healthcare resources. A senior living community with stronger connections to MUSC Health. An older adult who discovers a preventive service or wellness resource because you helped remove a barrier. An employer that sees MUSC Health as a trusted health partner. A community initiative that grows because you identified an unmet need. A referral pathway that becomes easier and more effective.
