Overview

A well-established healthcare organization is looking for a friendly, steady professional to be the first face patients see.

This is a great fit if you enjoy people, like a fast-paced day with plenty of variety, and take pride in being the person who keeps things running. You will work closely with nursing staff, providers and fellow team members, and you will see the direct impact of your work on the patient experience every day. Customer service or medical office experience is preferred, but we value a caring attitude and strong people skills just as much.
