National Medication Adherence Campaign Target Market Field Organizers
Nearly three out of four Americans report that they do not take their medications as directed. One in three people never fill their prescriptions. More than 1/3 of medication-related hospital admissions are linked to poor adherence. Most of these people include Americans with chronic conditions, which make up nearly 45% of the country’s population. The problem of non-adherence to medication costs the United States approximately $290 billion every year. To address this issue the National Consumers League (NCL) is developing and leading a groundbreaking, national education campaign on the importance of taking medications as prescribed. The campaign aims to raise consumer awareness of the importance of proper medication adherence—a vital first step toward better health outcomes. The campaign will reach consumers, specifically those with chronic conditions, and their caregivers, as well as health care practitioners.
GMMB, the communications firm working with NCL to implement the campaign, is hiring field organizers in six target markets to coordinate on-the-ground campaign activities including management of a local coalition of representatives from national stakeholders, planning and execution of events, and conducting media outreach.

Maintaining a database of community-based organizations that you reach out to, as well as organizations that get involved in the campaign
Recruiting and training patients to serve as spokespeople and tell their personal stories at events and to the media
Disseminating campaign materials to community-based organizations
Promoting the campaign website through outreach materials and events
Participating in regular conference calls with GMMB and NCL and preparing regular updates and a final operational report
Monitoring progress and adjusting strategies as needed
Qualifications include:

Demonstrated ability to recruit and mobilize community-based and grassroots organizations in support of public interest campaigns
Experience in organizing and managing diverse coalitions

Perks for this position include working in the community rather than in an office setting, having a non-traditional work schedule (which may include evenings and weekends) and a casual/business casual dress code depending on the situation.
