Cambridge Health Alliance's Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) is a nationally recognized model of care that serves adults aged 55 and older living with chronic medical and/or mental health challenges.
At CHA PACE, our mission is to support our program participants in achieving the highest level of independence within their communities and preventing nursing home placement. Our high-functioning interdisciplinary team supports this goal by providing fully integrated medical and behavioral health services, community resources, and home-based care in a collaborative and supportive environment.
We are currently seeking a dedicated and skilled Phlebotomist to join our care team at CHA PACE. In this unique role, you will travel to PACE participants’ homes in order to perform a variety of phlebotomy procedures, including collecting blood samples, providing point-of-care testing (such as INRs), and picking up patient self-collected samples for processing.
You will be responsible for ensuring accurate patient documentation, properly handling blood samples, and maintaining a sterile and safe work environment. This position requires skilled proficiency in venipuncture, safe and accurate specimen collection, and a commitment to providing the highest quality of compassionate care possible for our participants.
• Travel to PACE participants’ homes to draw blood samples.
• Greet participants warmly and verify their identification before collecting specimens.
• Explain the phlebotomy procedure thoroughly to ensure comfort and understanding.
• Perform venipuncture using correct techniques, ensuring accurate blood sample collection with minimal patient discomfort.
• Properly label specimens immediately after collection, including patient name, date of birth, and time of collection.
• Perform additional point-of-care testing (e.g., INRs) as required.
• Provide post-collection care by applying bandages, monitoring vital signs, and assessing any adverse patient reactions.
• Dispose of used materials such as needles and syringes following proper safety protocols.
• Maintain detailed records of any medical issues experienced by patients that could impact test results.
• Transport collected samples to the laboratory for testing in a timely manner.
• Education : High school diploma or GED required.
• Certification : Certified Medical Assistant (CMA) or Certified Phlebotomist; applicants without certification will be considered if they have over 1 year of recent full-time phlebotomy experience.
• Experience : At least 1 year of experience in routine phlebotomy procedures preferred.
• Other Requirements : Valid driver’s license and reliable personal vehicle for travel required. Fluency in Spanish, Portuguese, or Haitian-Creole is highly desirable.
