About Stem Health
Stem Health is reimagining the primary care experience for individuals who want a more thoughtful relationship with their health. Physician-led and membership-based, we combine medical excellence with the warmth of hospitality anchored in a beautifully designed flagship clinic at First Canadian Place, opening September 2026. Our care model is relationship-based, data-informed, and built on time, trust, and exceptional service.
Position Summary
As a Medical Office Assistant, you are the first voice and first face of Stem Health, the person who sets the tone for every member interaction, keeps the clinical day running smoothly, and ensures nothing falls through the cracks behind the scenes. You bridge the front desk and the clinical team, handling scheduling, communications, billing, and administrative support with equal parts efficiency and warmth.
Key Responsibilities
Patient experience and front desk
You are the kind of person who notices the small things. You are organized without being rigid, warm without being informal, and efficient without making anyone feel rushed. You thrive when you're the connective tissue between a clinical team and its patients, and you take pride in the fact that things run well, in large part, because of you.
