Description:

At Saint Alphonsus Health System, we are looking for people who are living out their calling. We want you to be passionate about coming to work, and challenged to achieve your potential. Living by these virtues, we pride ourselves on exceptional service and the highest quality of care.

The Wound and Hyperbaric Medicine clinic is now hiring for a personable and motivated PRN/As Needed Medical Assistant for our clinic located near the Ontario Medical Center campus!

Position Summary & Highlights

• As an MA in the Wound clinic, you will work in a great care team environment with multiple providers, MAs, RNs, and front office staff.

• At Saint Alphonsus we take a comprehensive and personalized approach in planning each patient's treatment since most non-healing, chronic wounds involve complications. We work with our patients to determine, manage and treat any underlying medical conditions, which will help them to heal faster and more completely.

• We help patients that have wounds and are dealing with poor blood circulation from diabetes, severe burns or peripheral vascular disease, as a simple cut or scrape can result in serious infection requiring advance wound care therapies.

• The Saint Alphonsus Advanced Wound Healing and Hyperbaric Medicine program also specializes in Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) for patients who have non-healing or complex wounds and other diseases that benefit from pressurized oxygen delivery. The Wound Healing & Hyperbaric program includes the use of sophisticated Sechrist Monoplace Hyperbaric Chambers. 

• At Saint Alphonsus, we treat the whole person with an individualized plan that radically speeds the healing of wounds.  

What You Will Do:

• Wound care is for those who have a strong desire to learn, working hands on with wound care and minor procedures, and working closely with the providers during appointments.

• This position will not perform vaccinations, injections, or much phlebotomy at this time.

• Some wounds can be extreme in look and smell, so those items can't bother you as you may see these types of wounds daily.

• An ideal candidate would be someone who has the desire and motivation to learn, who wants to work in a strong team environment, and is highly reliable.

Work Schedule:

• This position will work PRN/As Needed during the work week, Mondays - Fridays, 8:00am – 4:00pm.

Location:

• 1050 SW 3rd Ave., Ste. 1600, Ontario, OR 97914
