Job Overview
Founded in 1979, Lyon-Martin Health Services provides excellent primary care and mental health services to gender non-conforming and transgender people as well as cis-gender women, with sensitivity to sexual orientation and gender identity, regardless of ability to pay. Since 1999, the Women’s Community Clinic has used an innovative workforce development-based business model to provide affordable and accessible health care services to Bay Area women and girls. In the spring of 2018, while preserving each organization’s unique specializations and orientation to care, Lyon-Martin Health Services and Women’s Community Clinic have come together under one roof. This facility allows both clinics to expand their service offerings and provide comprehensive and welcoming care to their clients in one space.
The Medical Assistant (MA) is an essential clinical team member who provides high quality, client-centered care to our clients.

They participate in quality control, help identity needed preventative health care for patients, submit and follow-up on prior authorization for patient medications, check patient's insurance coverage and/or eligibility for coverage programs, and follow up on medical record requests and lab results. The medical assistant works closely with the whole clinical team and ensures excellent internal and external communication.
