Dollar For seeks a part-time energetic, detail-focused Operations Assistant to join our team as a key support for the Executive Director and Chief of Operations.
Most hospitals offer financial assistance programs that discount or forgive bills for patients based on income. Unfortunately, patients don’t always know about these programs or struggle to navigate them. Dollar For makes these charity care programs known, easy, and fair. We help patients check if they are eligible for financial assistance, prepare and submit applications, and eliminate medical bills. Our services are completely free – no strings attached.
Dollar For is a small and growing non-profit. We seek to build a team of employees who want opportunities to grow and stretch with us over time. In the meantime (and forever), we commit to being a place you truly enjoy working with a culture where everyone celebrates the successes, gives and offers supportive feedback, and works together to solve problems and help patients.
Dollar For will begin reviewing applications on January 2, 2025. Interviews and hiring decisions will take place in January.
