Fabulous Passion and Purpose!
Pros
Everyone takes tremendous pride in the work they are doing. We also care a lot about each other. Who we are as people is seen, heard and valued. I can look across my team and larger department and see another human. A high respect and performance bar is present and that is very motivating.Cons
This isn't exactly a con but with all the rapid change in our industry, Upstream needs to stay very on its toes and nimble. The mission is large as is the effort to support our mission. We have made strides here for sure but we need to continue to be careful to prioritize our wellbeing while in a highly service-oriented, ambitious work environment. It's a balance to strike.**Beware of recruitment scams. Upstream USA never conducts interviews by texts or email. Learn more**
Upstream partners with states to provide health centers with patient-centered, evidence-based training and technical assistance that eliminate barriers to offering the full range of contraception. We work directly with physicians, obstetrician-gynecologists, nurses, nurse practitioners, midwives, medical assistants and administrative staff to ensure a tailored, cohesive experience for the whole team.
