Description

**Join our team as a Certified Medical Assistant at Yakima Medical Dental Clinic!**

Medical Assistants are the backbone of our care teams. They play a vital, hands-on role in ensuring every patient receives safe, compassionate, and seamless care. From preparing patients for their visit to supporting providers during clinical procedures, MAs are often the first and last point of connection in a patient's experience. Their attention to detail, clinical skill, and ability to build trust with patients make them essential to our mission. At Yakima Valley Farm Workers Clinic, our MAs are not only valued professionals but also crucial partners in delivering high-quality healthcare to the communities we serve. Their work strengthens every aspect of our clinic operations and directly impacts patient health and satisfaction.

Be part of a healthcare organization that believes in making a difference beyond medical care! We've transformed into a leading community health center in the Pacific Northwest with 40 clinics across Washington and Oregon. We offer a wide range of services such as medical, dental, pharmacy, orthodontia, nutritional counseling, autism screening, and behavioral health. Our holistic model also extends assistance to shelter, energy, weatherization, HIV and AIDS counseling, home visits, and mobile medical/dental clinics.
