Yorktown Heights, NY (October 16, 2018)American Family Care (AFC) of Yorktown, the area’s leading provider of urgent care and occupational medicine, is excited to celebrate Medical Assistants Recognition Week, as designated by the American Association of Medical Assistants (AAMA). During the week of October 15, Medical assistants across the country will be recognized and honored for their professionalism and compassion.

“Our MA’s are the heart of AFC,” stated Kellie Slater, Marketing and Outreach Director for AFC’s Yorktown clinic. “We are so proud of the work they do each and every day. They treat our patients as if they were their own family and work tirelessly to ensure the highest quality care and comfort is provided. I am so proud to recognize our 6 fabulous MA’s: Lisamarie Hyde, Alyssa Martinez, Bryan Gonzalez, Joseline Cuateco, Victoria Alejo and Jennifer Trippedo, thank you for all you do!”

With their unique versatility, medical assistants are proving to be the allied health professional of choice for this decade and beyond. In fact, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, medical assisting continues to be projected as one of the fastest growing occupations.
