ABOUT THE HEALTH INITIATIVE: It is well-established that 80% of a person’s health is determined by factors outside the doctor’s office — healthy food, safe housing and a livable income. Yet our healthcare system is built backwards, with more than 99% of US healthcare dollars spent on medical care alone. The amount of money going toward healthcare is huge — the US government and private health insurance companies spend $10.7B on healthcare every day. This is projected to grow 6% annually through the next decade, despite recent safety net cuts. But what exactly do we get for all this healthcare spending? Right now, the US has some of the worst health outcomes across all high-income countries, including preventable heart disease and obesity, which cost the system nearly $500B each year. This is inefficient and leaves people behind, especially low-income children and families. But what if our healthcare system was built to pay for health, not just healthcare? What if it moved dollars upstream to pay for the basics people need to get and stay healthy, like safe housing and nutritious food? The result would be a win-win-win: Children and adults would have better access to healthy food and safe housing and, as a result, have better health outcomes. When healthier patients use less care, the government saves money – and insurance companies’ revenues increase – incentivizing both to pay for these basics. The Health Initiative (THI) is a national organization that crosses political divides, taps market forces and activates stakeholders to shift dollars toward health. By providing strategic guidance and technical assistance, we activate healthcare institutions to move dollars into the hands of patients and communities to pay for food and housing— improving health outcomes for those most at risk and reducing overall healthcare costs. Since 2018, THI has used our playbook to spur healthcare institutions to spend nearly $1B in healthcare dollars on food, housing and other basics. For example, we supported North Carolina to use Medicaid dollars to provide patients with groceries, rental assistance and other basics, keeping them out of the hospital and saving the state a net $1,020 per person per year. THI also advised a Fortune 25 insurance company on how to provide food and housing benefits for 22K high-risk patients (87% living on less than $20K a year) and to design an evaluation which found that those receiving higher benefits have lower healthcare costs. THI maintains a diversified revenue base which enables staff stability, long-term planning, and meaningful impact. ABOUT THE POSITION: The Health Initiative (THI) seeks a resourceful, detail-oriented, and flexible Program Associate who thrives in the fast-paced context of issue-based campaigns and/or start-up environments, has the ability to analyze and synthesize complex information, and is passionate about THI’s aim. The role is critical in achieving our mission by grounding our recommendations in clear and compelling research and analysis.

This team member has four primary functions: - Work closely with the swim lane leader to support the development of the strategy, approaches and tactics to mobilize stakeholders - Draft materials related to program content, e.g. meeting documents, reports - Conduct analyses related to swim lane, both proactively and reactively using a wide variety of data - Serve as the internal expert across the organization relevant to the swim lane, e.g. proactively scanning the external environment for updates and market trends, providing materials for THI colleagues in other functions such as Development. The successful candidate will be able to synthesize complex information quickly, have a strong grasp of the health and healthcare landscapes to be able to interpret data and research, and demonstrates solid analytic and communication skills in order to generate compelling, accurate materials and actionable insights. The position reports to the Senior Policy Director though as part of a small and nimble organization, the Program Associate will work collaboratively across the organization depending on needs and priorities. RESPONSIBILITIES: Defining Success for this Position: As noted above, a successful Program Associate will be able to serve as a first drafter and act as a source of truth for all materials related to the swim lane and demonstrate creativity and good judgement in recommending next steps and drafting materials to elicit action. Given the organization's dynamic nature, the responsibilities below are examples of how the Program Associate may execute those functions.
