The VHC Health Outpatient Clinic provides quality, comprehensive healthcare to low-income Arlington residents ages 18 and older who are uninsured or underinsured, including a highly diverse immigrant population representing more than 85 countries. Our mission is to reduce health disparities by ensuring equitable access to early detection, intervention, and ongoing care, while also addressing patients’ socioeconomic needs through wraparound services. Each day brings a different mix of specialty clinics, giving Medical Assistants the opportunity to gain experience across multiple areas of healthcare while supporting triage, point-of-care testing, procedures, inventory, and the overall environment of care. We serve adult and pregnant patients in a collaborative, resident-based teaching environment where teamwork, learning, and professional growth are strongly encouraged. Our team is bilingual, culturally diverse, deeply engaged in community outreach, and united by a shared passion for making a meaningful difference, evidenced by accomplishments such as providing over $5 million in free medications in the past year and supporting 110 families through our holiday gift drive.
This Monday–Friday, 8:00 a.m.–4:30 p.m. role offers flexibility, no weekends or holidays, and is ideal for a proactive, empathetic, and resilient individual, Spanish bilingual skills strongly preferred, who wants fulfilling work, strong collaboration, and the opportunity to grow and master both clinical and administrative skills while positively impacting the community we serve.
