Join WellSpan's Warm Hand-Off Program and Help Transform Lives
WellSpan is proud to partner with YADAC to expand the Warm Hand-Off (WHO) Program, an innovative initiative designed to connect individuals experiencing substance use challenges with the support and treatment they need.
The WHO Program provides immediate outreach, engagement, and care coordination for individuals following an overdose, substance use-related emergency department visit, or other critical intervention point in York and Adams Counties. By meeting individuals where they are and offering compassionate support, our teams help bridge the gap between crisis and recovery.
We are seeking passionate professionals who are committed to making a difference in the lives of individuals and families affected by substance use disorders. Team members will have the opportunity to work alongside hospitals, community partners, and recovery resources to ensure people receive the right care at the right time.
If you are driven by purpose, value collaboration, and want to be part of a program that is changing lives across our communities, we would love to hear from you.
