GenesisHOPE is committed to advancing health equity. We are a multi-service community development organization advancing health equity plans, programs and policies so everyone has a fair and just opportunity to be as healthy as possible...
Healthy People + Healthy Places
Our definition of health equity means that everyone has a fair and just opportunity to be as healthy as possible. This requires removing obstacles to health such as poverty, discrimination, and their consequences, including powerlessness and lack of access to good jobs with fair pay, quality education and housing, safe environments, and health care. Health equity means reducing and ultimately eliminating these disparities in health and social determinants that adversely affect excluded or marginalized groups.
At GenesisHOPE, we are community development professionals leading inclusive and equitable development of places where we live, work, learn and play. We're also community health workers who educate and support people in choosing healthier lifestyles.
Why GenesisHOPE?
At GenesisHOPE, you’ll find meaningful work, caring culture, and a dynamic team focused on promoting healthy living and creating healthy resilient communities for the residents of Islandview, the Villages of Detroit, and surrounding neighborhoods.
And, you’ll enjoy a flexible work environment allowing work from home days, as well as:
- Paid medical
- Paid vacation
- Paid professional development
- Career path and growth opportunities
- Chance to make a difference
The career opportunities we are seeking to fill play a vital role, on the ground, in advancing health equity.
