Medical Assistant
About The Position
myPlace Health is built around a simple but powerful belief: older adults deserve the support they need to live safely, independently, and with dignity in their own communities. As a PACE (Program of All Inclusive Care for the Elderly) organization backed by SCAN Group, myPlace Health brings together customized medical care, social activities, and daily support for participants and their families – all under one roof. Our centers are more than healthcare facilities. They are vibrant community hubs where participants are known by name, valued, and supported as whole people. Behind that experience is a dedicated, interdisciplinary team working together to coordinate care, remove barriers, and improve quality of life for some of the most medically and socially complex populations. For employees, myPlace Health offers the opportunity to do deeply meaningful work in a highly collaborative setting. Team members are encouraged to contribute innovative ideas, and grow alongside a mission that prioritizes compassion, respect, and impact. The result is a culture where people feel connected—to their colleagues, their participants, and the communities they serve. At myPlace Health, work is more than a job. It’s a shared commitment to honoring what matters most. The Medical Assistant supports myPlace Health PACE participants by providing safe, high-quality clinical and administrative assistance in a center-based setting. This role performs intake, prepares participants for visits, completes ordered clinical tasks within scope, supports clinic operations, and documents accurately in the EMR while collaborating with the Interdisciplinary Team (IDT).
