**Position: Clinical Health Assistant (CHA)**

**Schedule**: Monday - Friday 8:00-4:30 pm

The MacEwan University Health Centre is a new state-of-the-art primary care clinic, located in downtown Edmonton, focused on the Patient-Centered Medical Home model which provides patient-centered, comprehensive, coordinated, and accessible care based on the patient’s needs. MUHC’s unique academic teaching, medical home model of health care provides a friendly, supportive, caring and learning environment. Along with supporting work-life balance and a positive team environment, we empower our staff to enhance their skills, to foster growth and development with educational opportunities.
