  • Manage all departmental communications, including answering phones, paging, faxing, and distributing patient and unit correspondence.

  • Support the surgical team by accurately entering physician orders, updating patient records, and maintaining documentation according to hospital standards.

  • Monitor and maintain par levels for supplies, forms, and downtime materials; ensure family lounge and waiting areas are clean, stocked, and welcoming.

  • Coordinate logistics such as scheduling patient transports, completing errands, and maintaining logs and reports.

  • Ensure all office and unit equipment (computers, printers, fax machines, etc.) are in working order and follow up on any repair requests as needed.

  • Adhere strictly to hospital policies, including HIPAA, safety, and infection control standards.

  • Participate in audits, charge reconciliation, and departmental quality improvement initiatives.

  • Contribute to a supportive team environment by assisting colleagues, mentoring new staff, and seeking opportunities for learning and growth.

What We’re Looking For:

  • Strong organizational and multitasking skills with attention to detail in a fast-paced surgical setting.

  • Exceptional communication and interpersonal skills to effectively interact with patients, families, and clinical teams.

  • A proactive team player who embraces feedback, takes initiative, and remains composed under pressure.

  • Prior experience in healthcare administration or a clinical support role preferred.

Why Join the Center for Perioperative Care:
This role is your opportunity to be part of an expert surgical team dedicated to providing safe, seamless, and compassionate care. You’ll help ensure each patient’s experience before and after surgery is efficient, organized, and reassuring. Join a department that values collaboration, excellence, and the vital role each team member plays in supporting outstanding patient outcomes.
