Chief Financial Officer (CFO)

OUR ORGANIZATIONAL HISTORY & TRAJECTORY

San Francisco Community Health Center’s (SFCHC) mission is to transform lives by advancing health, wellness, and equality. SFCHC has been an anchor organization in the Tenderloin neighborhood of San Francisco for over 30 years. Formerly known as “Asian and Pacific Islander Wellness Center”, SFCHC started in the 1980s as a grassroots organization responding to the HIV epidemic in the Asian and Pacific Islander community. SFCHC expanded over time to become one of the largest transgender‐serving organizations in San Francisco, the HIV Center of Excellence for the Tenderloin, a national HIV prevention capacity building assistance provider, and in 2015 became the newest federally qualified health center in San Francisco in over 35 years.

OUR TRANSFORMATION TO A COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTER

Over the past five to six years, we have established our foundation as a community health center, currently providing primary medical, dental, and behavioral health care alongside street medicine and outreach. We take our mandate to serve low‐income and homeless communities with the highest quality health care seriously, as we are HRSA‐funded as both a Community Health Center Program and a Health Care for the Homeless Program. Our current focus is to sustain our high level of functioning, to support and retain our highly talented clinical team, to expand and promote our relatively new brand as a community health center, and to grow our patient numbers. In 2017, SFCHC opened a satellite clinic at the San Francisco LGBT Center to specifically be the health home for the LGBTQ community in San Francisco.

WHAT MAKES US UNIQUE

• The need for our holistic health and wellness model, which is tailored to the needs of people stigmatized by mainstream health care, has never been greater in San Francisco.
• Our medical and behavioral health expertise with marginalized groups is essential to San Francisco’s Getting to Zero objectives and to ending the HIV epidemic.
• Our staff’s well-developed competencies in street medicine and outreach put us at the leading edge in responding to the significant number of community members who are unhoused or marginally housed.
• Our integrative financial model provides protective income diversity and opportunities to expand services to meet complex client needs.

Our mandate now is to sustainably expand our operations such that we can fill the larger role in the health care ecosystem that our clients and the City as a whole need us to.

WHO IS THE IDEAL CFO FOR US

• You agree with and will whole‐heartedly champion our vision/value statement: SFCHC is an LGBTQ and people of color health organization that believes everyone deserves to be healthy and needs access to the highest quality health care. We foster resilience, strength, connection, health, and wellness for all communities. To us, health care will always be grounded in social justice.
• You are committed to serving the most vulnerable, marginalized, and stigmatized communities. This is at the heart of our work, and this inspires you. You are both an advocate for these communities and know well the challenges of providing care for these communities.
• You are not afraid of challenges and readily contribute to team problem‐solving and have a “roll‐up‐your‐sleeves” attitude when facing complex problems.
• You grasp the complexity of how health care is financed in a community health center, the tensions that often exist between provider productivity expectations and quality, and the finetuning required when government contracts are also a significant proportion of total revenues.
• You want to be involved in the local and national FQHC/community health center and LGBTQ health care movements and contribute as a thought leader.
