Our Nurses Make a Difference
We are seeking people to help us design and implement the future role of nursing at Clinica Family Health.

Young or old, people of any race or ethnicity, no matter their income, gender or religion — we are here to provide them with exceptional health care because no one should have to choose between obtaining the health care they need and other necessities such as housing or food.

Hear what it’s like to be a Clinica MA from someone who’s done it.
Alex Andrade, Clinic Operations Manager
Alex grew up coming to Clinica as a patient, so he was familiar with medical assistants and what they did. After graduating from high school, his mom asked about his next steps in life and his career. Alex had imagined himself going into construction, but his mom had other ideas. She thought he should become a medical assistant.
As he says, his Clinica story began in 2012. He earned his MA certificate and came to work at the Lafayette clinic. He spend three years as an MA and then was promoted to the MA team manager (MATM) position. Several years later, with some leadership skills under his belt, he was promoted to the clinic operations manager position that he currently holds. It’s still helping patients, he said, but now he can help at a different level by improving processes.
“I like helping people,” Alex said. “If you feel rewarded with a thank you, there is a place for you here. MAs do a lot for our patients. Our patients really appreciate it and compensate us with their gratitude.
His colleagues – or as Alex says “his Clinica family” – are the other reason he loves working here. They are extremely welcoming and committed to the organization’s mission. He also appreciates that Clinica provides staff with opportunities to grow and advance their careers. “Clinica takes a chance on our employees,” he said.
Alex thinks Clinica is a great place to work. “If you want to grow with an organization that takes great care of its patients, if you are willing to bring a part of yourself to this job, there is great opportunity here.”

Roxanna Sanchez, Dental Assistant Team Manager
“I always enjoyed going to the dentist,” Roxanna said. “All the instrument interested me. I wanted to know what they were used for. That’s how I became interested in becoming a dental assistant.”
Roxanna first came to Clinica to complete an internship as part of her training. After seeing how Clinica operated, she wanted to come back.
“I love being able to do something that helps our patients,” she said. “They’ll tell me, ‘Thank you so much! I’m not in pain anymore!’ Dentistry is very expensive. Working here, we’re helping our community, and that is so pleasing to me. We’re helping our patients so much.”
Roxanna would encourage other dental assistants to consider working at Clinica. “You’ll be helping out your community. We work as a team so you not alone. The schedule is very flexible, and the staff is really just a big family.”
