Rural Staffing Services partners with rural hospitals, clinics, public hospital districts, and community healthcare organizations throughout Washington to identify experienced leaders and professionals in case management, social work, utilization review, discharge planning, and care coordination.
We are currently connecting with professionals who may be interested in active and upcoming case management, social work, utilization management, discharge planning, and care coordination opportunities across Washington .
These opportunities may include positions within Critical Access Hospitals, community hospitals, Rural Health Clinics, Federally Qualified Health Centers, public hospital districts, long-term care organizations, and integrated rural healthcare systems.
This Is More Than a Care Coordination Role
In rural healthcare, helping a patient safely move through the healthcare system often requires creativity, persistence, and strong community relationships.
Case management, social work, and care coordination professionals help connect patients and families with the clinical care, resources, education, and support they need. They may address barriers involving transportation, housing, insurance, behavioral health, long-term care, family support, or access to specialty services far from home.
The strongest professionals understand that a discharge plan is more than paperwork. It is a bridge between the hospital, the patient's home, local providers, community resources, and the next stage of care.
