Medical Assistant/Phlebotomist
About The Position
At CVS Health, we’re building a world of health around every consumer and surrounding ourselves with dedicated colleagues who are passionate about transforming health care. As the nation’s leading health solutions company, we reach millions of Americans through our local presence, digital channels and more than 300,000 purpose-driven colleagues – caring for people where, when and how they choose in a way that is uniquely more connected, more convenient and more compassionate. And we do it all with heart, each and every day. Position Summary A Medical Assistant (MA) with phlebotomy skills performs broader administrative and clinical duties, with blood drawing (venipuncture) being a key skill for collecting specimens, while a specialized Phlebotomist focuses solely on blood collection for tests, donations, or research, requiring precision and patient comfort skills. Both roles are crucial, involving patient education, sample handling, and working in various healthcare settings, but MAs manage a wider scope, whereas phlebotomists are experts in the specific technique of blood draws, with state regulations often dictating MA scope for blood collection.

Benefits
- Affordable medical plan options, a 401(k) plan (including matching company contributions), and an employee stock purchase plan.
- No-cost programs for all colleagues including wellness screenings, tobacco cessation and weight management programs, confidential counseling and financial coaching.
