A Brief Overview

The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) PolicyLab, in partnership with the CHOP Primary Care Network, is leading the development of an integrated, health system-based response to family's health related social needs (HRSNs), with a specific focus on early childhood education and child care access.

As pediatric primary care increasingly serves as a universal touchpoint for identifying social needs, CHOP has implemented enterprise-wide screening to identify barriers impacting child health and well-being.  Child care has emerged as one of the most prevalent unmet resource needs.  In response, CHOP is building a coordinated model that moves beyond identification to deliver timely, effective, and scalable support for families.

PolicyLab's Community Clinical Systems Integration (CCSI) initiative is at the forefront of this effort; designing and implementing a sustainable approach to child care navigation that integrates clinical care, family support, and community systems.  To support these efforts, CHOP PolicyLab is seeking a self-motivated professional to serve as Clinical Research Coordinator - Child Care Navigator, a multifaceted role that combines direct family support with systems development.  This position will serve as a key contributor to both:

•          Direct implementation of child care navigation services at Cobbs Creek Pediatric Primary Care, which functions as a primary implementation and learning site, and

•          Enterprise-wide development of child care responses to HRSN screening.

This role is both service-delivery and systems-building – translating frontline experience into scalable solutions that strengthen how healthcare responds to family child care needs.  The individual will act as a child care content expert, navigator, educator, and cross-system liaison – supporting families in accessing quality child care while informing the development of workflows, partnerships, and tools that strengthen CHOP's system-wide response.
