OhioRISE Program Director

What is OhioRISE?

The Ohio Department of Medicaid (ODM) is committed to improving the health of Ohioans and strengthening communities and families through quality care. In 2020, ODM introduced a new vision for Ohio’s Medicaid program – one that strengthens Ohio’s future and ensures everyone has the chance to live life to its full potential. OhioRISE, or Resilience through Integrated Systems and Excellence, is Ohio’s first highly integrated care program for youth with complex behavioral health and multi-system needs.

National Youth Advocate Program is proud to announce that we were selected as the Care Management Entity (CME) in Region C, made up of 11 Ohio counties: Allen, Auglaize, Champaign, Clark, Darke, Hardin, Greene, Logan, Madison, Miami, and Shelby. The CME is responsible for delivering wraparound care coordination for children and youth enrolled in OhioRISE who have the most complex behavioral health needs, and for helping to grow the system of care in the communities served to ensure the behavioral health needs of children and their families are met.

As a result, NYAP is seeking a fulltime OhioRISE Program Director which will manage and support our newly created team of Care Coordinators, Quality and Compliance Specialist, and Billing Specialist vital to the success of the OhioRISE model. Working together, we aim to achieve the ultimate goal to keep youth in their homes, communities and schools by assessing and delivering the appropriate services needed and reducing unnecessary out-of-home placement and potential custody relinquishment.
