Full Job Description

ORGANIZATION OVERVIEW:

Siloam Health is a dynamic, multi-site healthcare organization that has served Nashville’s uninsured and underserved—especially the immigrant and refugee communities-since 1991. Today, nearly 90% of our patients and clients are born outside the United States, representing more than 80 homelands and speaking more than 70 languages. A faith-based, religiously chartered organization with a budget of $6 million, Siloam is the second largest charitably funded nonprofit health center in the state of Tennessee and has played a leadership role in Tennessee’s refugee medical screening program for almost two decades. Our work is accomplished by 65 staff, over 400 volunteers annually, and dozens of partner churches, hospital systems, and other organizations. Medical care is offered at two locations: a comprehensive primary care clinic located in Melrose and a walk-in, limited primary care clinic located in Antioch. Community Health Workers and volunteers through our Nashville Neighbors program attend to the social determinants of health by promoting self-efficacy, health literacy, and health system navigation skills among local immigrant and refugee communities. Siloam clinicians also regularly mentor dozens of students and residents annually through custom coursework, clinical rotations and internships.

Siloam’s Mission: to share the love of Christ by serving those in need through health care.
Siloam’s Vision: that our neighbors from all nations are empowered to lead physically, emotionally, and spiritually healthy lives and to feel at home in our community.

Siloam’s Core Values:
  • Create Sanctuary: We make time and space to foster genuine, healing relationships in all that we do, so that others feel safe, valued, and refreshed in body, mind and spirit.
  • Make a Way: We commit to listen, learn and forge an affordable path forward that addresses the social and cultural context of each patient, no matter what it takes.
  • Encourage Excellence: We strive to exceed expectations in quality, whole-person care and community engagement, encouraging our patients, teammates and partners to do the same.
  • Celebrate Neighbors: Rooted in Christ, we serve and honor people of all faiths and walks of life as made in God’s image, welcoming difference as an opportunity for learning, growth and joy.
  • Multiply the Mission: We embrace our role as catalysts, investing in others so that health care transformed by love will ripple far beyond Siloam.

Siloam’s Philosophy of Care:

We believe that all people, regardless of homeland, resources, gender, sexuality, faith or creed are worthy of respect and care as image-bearers of the triune God. As a result, Siloam seeks to care with compassion and excellence, not just for the physical health of those we serve, but for their social, emotional, and spiritual health as well. It’s what we call whole-person care.

From Siloam Health’s Charter:

“The purposes for which the corporation is organized are:

  • To share the love and compassion of Jesus Christ with those who are physically ill, spiritually searching, emotionally strained and financially impoverished;
  • To establish a church-based primary health care clinic and to offer a ministry of healing to the community in a manner that recognizes and addresses both the spiritual and the medical dimensions of disease and suffering;

  • To provide health counseling to the community;
  • To provide opportunities for service and training for a corps of volunteer workers;
