Summary: Case Manager Position

I am writing to apply for the case manager position at Heart of the City. I became aware of the position through Cherry Health the website. I have experience with working with adults that have behavioral health concerns. I worked as a social work intern at Heart of City in the adult medicine department conducting brief interventions as well. I have assessed over 50 patients through linking them with resources, or other referring agencies.

I also helped co-facilitate a Dialectal Behavioral group and wrote detailed progress notes. I have used cognitive behavioral and motivational interviewing intervention techniques when counseling my patients. In addition to my work with adults, I participated in trainings related to substance use to better
assess patients in my internship. I am also comfortable and capable of navigating the NetGen system that Cherry Health uses for documenting. I worked closely and maintained communication with the clinic’s medical team in an integrated setting. I am capable of working independently, or in a team.

During my time at my internship I was presented with the opportunity to interact with several unserved patients. I am very passionate about providing support, and care to underserve population with regards to adults. In April, 2016 I received my Master’s degree in Social Work. I have also received my bachelor’s degree in psychology. As a student at Grand Valley State, I learned a great deal about different policies, agencies, and populations that social workers may interact with on a daily basis. Along with my clinical skills, I believe my training and experience have provided me with the knowledge to become a part of your case management team.

Enclosed please find my resume for review. Thank you for your consideration. I look forward to meeting with you personally. You may contact me via email at [e-mail] or phone at [phone]
