Are you a compassionate, skilled Medical Assistant who thrives on building real relationships with patients?

We are seeking a dedicated Medical Assistant to join a fast-growing, primary care organization centered on Value-Based Care for the senior population (Medicare Advantage members, ages 60+). Unlike high-volume, transactional clinics, our model allots approximately 45 minutes per patient appointment, giving providers and MAs the time needed to deliver high-touch, holistic, and compassionate care.

• Patient Intake & Care: Greet and room members, conduct patient interviews, take and record accurate vital signs, gather medical histories, and perform routine screenings (e.g., PHQ-9 depression screenings).

• Clinical Procedures: Perform phlebotomy and lab draws, EKGs, diabetic retinopathy screenings (IDX), administer injections, change dressings, apply bandages, remove sutures, and assist with first aid/CPR as needed.

• Pre-Visit Planning & Gaps in Care: Work closely with the Primary Care Physician (PCP) to close care gaps (FOCS), navigate external EMR systems, and conduct pre-visit planning.

• Patient Communication & Coaching: Critically listen to patients, report findings to the PCP, handle patient phone messages/callbacks, process stat referrals, and provide routine health coaching.

• Quality & Admin Support: Maintain OSHA safety standards, manage clinic inbox/faxes, and complete accurate, ethical clinical documentation.

• Education: High School Diploma/GED and Medical Assistant Diploma / Completion Certificate.

• Experience: Minimum 1 year of hands-on Medical Assistant experience in an outpatient clinical setting.

• Phlebotomy Skills: Demonstrated competency with phlebotomy and blood draws (6+ months experience preferred).

• Software Proficiency: Experience with Electronic Medical Records (EMR) systems (eClinicalWorks or AthenaHealth strongly preferred) and proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Outlook, Excel).

• Soft Skills:

  • Exceptional emotional intelligence, compassion, and patience for the geriatric population.

  • Excellent problem-solving, communication, and critical-thinking skills.

  • High level of punctuality (daily team huddles start promptly at 8:00 AM).

  • Adaptability and a team-first mindset-willing to jump in and support teammates whenever needed.

• Prior experience working specifically with senior/geriatric patients.

• Background in a Value-Based Care or Medicare Advantage clinical environment.

• Meaningful Work: Spend quality time with senior members and make a tangible difference in their health and well-being.

• Predictable Schedule: Regular daytime hours (Monday-Friday, 8 to 5) with consistent 40-hour work weeks and weekends off.

• Collaborative Culture: Work in a lean, supportive environment alongside physicians and care teams who put compassion first.
