The American Heart Association is offering full-time Public Health AmeriCorps service opportunities for people interested in working toward health equity in rural communities.
Public Health AmeriCorps:
- Helps meet public health needs of local communities by providing needed capacity and support in state and local public health settings and advancing more equitable health outcomes for communities who are currently or historically underserved
