Director of Development & Communications - Alliance Medical Ministry
Are you passionate about serving your neighbor and ensuring access to healthcare?
Do you find joy building relationships and connecting individuals with an impactful mission?
Do you excel at building dynamic teams and comprehensive development programs to achieve strategic goals?
If so, then you might be Alliance Medical Ministry’s next Development and Communications Director.
Why?
Uninsured individuals are less likely to receive preventive care, more likely to develop chronic illnesses, and more likely to be hospitalized for conditions that could have been prevented. All of these factors make it hard to maintain employment, build financial security, and break cycles of poverty.
For more than 20 years, Alliance Medical Ministry (AMM) has been a mission-driven organization that provides access to comprehensive medical care to more than 2,100 working, uninsured adults living in Wake County. Health equity is an important part of what AMM provides patients in addressing the disparities that exist in our healthcare system.
Comprehensive medical care provided at AMM includes acute and chronic medical care, lab and pharmacy services, health education, disease management, counseling, an on-site community farm, and a comprehensive wellness program.
Reporting to the Executive Director, AMM seeks a Development and Communications Director to join their compassionate and dedicated team to help achieve their strategic vision and serve our neighbors.
