🏥 New Dental Clinic | Target Opening: Early 2027

Talent Strategies is recruiting a Dental Services Patient Representative in East Hollywood, Los Angeles for a full-time front office opportunity supporting a brand-new community health dental clinic targeted to open in early 2027.

Once the new clinic opens, East Hollywood will become the employee’s assigned clinic location.
