Description

At OFFOR Health we start with people. We are humanizing the healthcare experience by putting people first and understanding as much as we can about those we serve. We are on a mission to reimagine outdated healthcare models to accelerate access to care for those who are underserved and under-resourced.

OFFOR Health was founded by a team of dedicated board-certified anesthesiologists looking for a better way to deliver surgical care in dental practices. Headquartered in Columbus, Ohio with Care Teams in five states. We are a healthcare service company always looking for new and innovative ways to provide accessible and affordable healthcare in underserved communities for the underinsured. We start with yes, think differently, collaborate radically and constantly search for barriers to breakdown and reinvent how healthcare is accessed.

The paramedic will transport supplies and medications to the dental office, set up the operating room, and assist the physician in the operating room throughout the day. The ideal candidate will be comfortable with both pediatric and adult patients undergoing anesthesia.

OFFOR Health provides you with the work-life balance you need.
