Lake Region Healthcare in Fergus Falls has posted a full-time Administrative Assistant opening and job board listings describe pay, hours and benefits that will be of interest to local job seekers. One captured posting lists a pay range of $20 to $29 per hour and describes an onsite, entry-level position that accepts applicants with a high school diploma or GED.

The job board copy highlights afternoon and evening shifts with flexible start times in the title: "Administrative Assistant - Acute Care - Afternoon/Evening Hours with Flexible Start Times! (74026)." A brief job description available in the listing states: "The Administrative Assistant - Acute Care (Nursing Administration Assistant) is a valued position that provides support to Lake Region Healthcare's nursing operations. This person has contact with employees, prospective employees, volunteers, community, administration, new employees, providers, and department leaders." The same listing notes confidentiality expectations: "The incumbent has access to sensitive, confidential information and must be able to maintain those confidences."

Another captured posting for the same employer identifies the role with a medical staff focus.

Benefits information in the captured job board text is explicit and may matter to applicants weighing total compensation. The listing states: "Lake Region Healthcare is pleased to offer a comprehensive benefit program designed to meet your unique needs. This includes medical and dental coverage; HSA, FSA and 401k plans; EAP, life and disability coverage; voluntary accident, critical illness and hospital indemnity coverage; pet insurance, ID theft protection and legal services. For new employees, the effective date of coverage for most plans is the first of the month, following a 30-day waiting period."

There are some unresolved discrepancies that local applicants should note. The job descriptions differ across captured listings: one emphasizes Medical Staff Services and physician recruitment with clerical support for credentialing and onboarding, while another emphasizes Acute Care and nursing administration support. The captures do not make clear whether these represent two separate openings or a single role described differently on different job boards. Indeed’s brief capture shows the longer title variant and lists the employer as "LAKE REGION HEALTHCARE CORPORATION" with an employer rating of 3.4.
