Provides clinical support to health care professionals to ensure the delivery of quality health care services.

Practice Overview

We provide facility-based care to geriatric patients where they reside in Byron Center and closely surrounding areas. Both Providers and MAs work together one-on-one at the facilities. Patients are seen in one of our clinic areas or you may visit the patient rooms to provide them care. This position gives a unique opportunity for an MA who enjoys working independently side-by-side with a Provider. There is a variety in the work while remaining at one location each day. You would also have the opportunity to work remotely one day each week.

Office Culture

Our staff are helpful, encouraging, and welcoming. Our most recent Glint scores rated our team at 91 / 100 for culture. Our top strengths were belonging and recognition. Our Providers not only give exceptional care experience for our patients, but they are incredibly approachable to all staff that partner with them in patient care.
