Although some of our staff work in clinical positions that require a healthcare background, we have many entry-level positions and support employees in positions such as quality, data, IT, human resources, and administration that do not require previous work in health care. Our team can train you for your work in entry-level positions such as at our reception desks.
Yes, many opportunities are available for this. Please contact us at recruitment@laclinicahealth.org.

As a healthcare organization, we strongly encourage everyone to get vaccinated for their safety and that of our patients. While we no longer mandate COVID vaccination for employment, we still highly encourage it. Employees who choose not to be vaccinated must complete a declination form. We require masking during flu season for unvaccinated employees and anticipate requiring the same for COVID-19 during peak transmission.
La Clinica was created for residents who needed care and didn’t have access to it, and that approach guides us today. We serve about 30,000 patients annually in more than two dozen locations in Jackson County and proudly live our guiding motto: “We love our patients and enthusiastically treat them with the same care, respect, and dignity that we would our friends, family, and neighbors, because that’s who they are.”
Equity and diversity are two of La Clinica’s organizational values. We incorporate them in all we do. La Clinica has an equity, diversity, and inclusion director whose role is to ensure progress on these issues and an EDI Council of employees that recommends action within La Clinica.
