We have open positions in departments and offices across CalHHS! Over the last two years, we have expanded access to services, funded new programs, and retooled old programs, all with the idea that we build back stronger from the COVID-19 pandemic and better serve the most vulnerable among us. As Secretary Mark Ghaly likes to remind us, COVID-19 has not only been the greatest unmasker of inequities, but it also has been the greatest accelerant for change. Why should you come work at CalHHS? At CalHHS, we believe that transforming our state into a Healthy California for All is a team sport – it takes each of us doing our part. It requires the breaking down—the busting down—of stubborn silos between health programs on the one hand and social service programs on the other. It requires the authentic engagement with communities of all varieties, in all parts of the state, and in all languages across the state. It requires us to be person-centered, equity-focused, and data-driven. If you want to make a difference and ensure that we leave a better state for the next generation, then CalHHS is the right place for you. At CalHHS, we are focused on increasing representation from all groups, which requires us to approach our recruiting, selection, hiring and retention activities in new ways. This includes a shift from a department-centric lens to viewing our workforce as an Agency need and asset. It also includes a focus on non-traditional candidate pools, including candidates with lived experience, including those with visible and invisible disabilities, as well as those who currently or formally benefited from our safety-net programs and services. This allows us to not only help address our hiring challenges and enrich our workforce, but more importantly, create ladders of opportunity for those most vulnerable among us.

About us
Our North Star: We envision a Healthy California for All where every individual belongs to a strong and thriving community. Where all our children can play and learn, and where we are confident that we have done all we can to pass to them a state they can lead into the future. Where older and disabled Californians can live with purpose and dignity, and where they are supported and valued. Where equity is not just a word or concept but the core value. Where we constantly pursue social and racial justice by not only lifting all boats but especially those boats that need to be lifted more. Where health care is affordable, accessible, equitable and high-quality so it drives toward improved health. Where we prioritize prevention and the upstream factors that impact an individual’s health and well-being. Where we are committed to tackling the economic inequalities that force many Californians to live on the street. Where necessities like housing and childcare are complimented by access to physical and behavioral health services. Where we see the whole person and where programs and services address the social, cultural and linguistic needs of the individuals they serve. Where climate threats collide with forward leaning health practices and policies that visibly turn the tide toward community resilience. And where we see our diversity as a strength, and where we embrace a joint responsibility to take care of one another.

Science Communications Officer | California Health and Human Services Agency (CalHHS)
On Wednesday October 30th, I and our entire Precision Medicine team held our first Advisory Council meeting since transitioning to the California Health & Human Services Agency. We learned so much from the expertise of our esteemed Advisors and look forward to many more productive meetings!
I had my first California Initiative to Advance Precision Medicine Council meeting yesterday. I was not only impressed by the incredible council members, but also by the dedicated staff who made the meeting so valuable. I was also honored to serve my first meeting with an incredible new advisor E. Gay Grossman. The mission of CIAPM to support personalized prevention and treatment and address health inequities is so dear to my heart and I can't wait to continue to support the work the team has been doing. Thank you David Reiner, Ph.D. and Ramon Martinez III and your team for hosting us.
