What the Coordinator, Health Projects family covers
Coordinator, Health Projects works as an umbrella classification: 2 different specializations share the title across 2 codes. The family straddles jurisdictions: 1 both state and local and 1 state, so parts of it are hired by state departments and parts by local civil service employers.
The state is a direct care employer at scale, running psychiatric hospitals, developmental centers and veterans homes around the clock. That shapes the classifications: shift work, unusual work weeks and institution-specific variants are normal here rather than exceptional, and the same clinical title can exist several times over for different facilities. Professional licensure carries the qualification weight, so movement between the public and private sector is easier in this group than almost anywhere else in civil service. Counties run their own health departments and hire parallel titles under local jurisdiction.
