Our feet make up 25 percent of our body's bones and 18 percent of our joints. Healthy feet are essential to mobility and the way we complete our daily tasks. Although our feet get a substantial part of the wear and tear from our regular activity, and foot pain is highly common, few of us give our feet the care and attention they deserve. Since we walk an average of 100,000 miles over a lifetime, proper foot care is important for everyone. It is especially critical for individuals with diabetes, because circulatory problems associated with that disease can lead to severe infection from unhealed foot wounds.

By joining our team as a Medical Assistant, you will have the opportunity to make a meaningful impact on the lives of countless individuals while working in a dynamic and supportive environment.
