Bring hands-on clinical support directly to patients while working alongside providers to deliver high-quality, personalized care in the field.

You'll also help patients understand their care by clearly and compassionately explaining procedures, medications, and provider instructions while maintaining a safe and comfortable care environment.
This role is ideal for a dependable, patient-focused Medical Assistant who enjoys variety, independence, and being part of a mobile care team.

When supporting the office, you'll assist with phones, patient documentation, new patient materials, and other administrative needs. Through your clinical skills, organization, and compassionate communication, you'll help create a seamless experience for both patients and providers while supporting exceptional care wherever our patients call home.
