Job description

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.

• Document care activities, assessments, and communications accurately and promptly in the EMR.
• Coordinate follow-ups and external appointments as assigned; assist with referrals and authorizations per process.
• Maintain exam rooms and clinical areas (cleaning, stocking, equipment readiness) and complete required clinic logs.
• Assist with inventory, supplies, and equipment management in collaboration with the Clinic Supervisor.
• Follow all applicable privacy, safety, infection prevention, and regulatory requirements (HIPAA; PACE/CMS/DHCS; organizational policies).
