VISTA Program members will be provided with on-going support and training, as well as invaluable experience in the healthcare field.
At UHPhealth, the third year VISTA will set the program on a path to success by devising a network and marketing plan in order to broaden rapport and increase engagement with the community, allowing UHP’s social wellness programs to thrive. Member activities include developing and carrying out a social media strategy to increase the visibility of UHP’s programs, leveraging resources to target potential clients, partners, donors and volunteers, and networking and marketing for end of the year fundraising events. The VISTA will also be expected to make their developed programs and resources easily accessible and comprehensible for future use by the clinic after the VISTA finishes their term of service.
