We are thrilled to introduce Kaylin (she/her), CWHC’s new Clinical Services Administrator! Kaylin’s contributions to our Clinical Services Program will strengthen existing systems and improve services for our clients.

To help introduce her, we asked Kaylin to answer a few questions about her work at CWHC:

What drew you to work at CWHC?

"After supporting a variety of health care environments administratively, I found myself hopeful to shift into a role where access, education, and autonomy are priorities of care. I'm so grateful to be a part of the CWHC team, as I feel that the work is in alignment with the values I hold."

What is something you want people to know about the work that CWHC does?

"There is so much behind the scenes work to ensure that the care CWHC offers reflects the ever-evolving needs of the communities we serve! Folks who receive care at the health center should feel empowered to provide feedback knowing that it will be deeply valued."
