Employee Testimonial:

"During my time at TrustPoint, I have been able to expand my nursing knowledge greatly! I have worked every unit which has allowed me to see patients of all ages and with different diagnoses and challenges. As I went back to obtain my RN degree, I knew that working in this facility would allow me to see my curriculum come alive in real patients. It helped me to better understand how different diseases and disorders can affect people differently and what that physically looks like. My co-workers are a big reason I enjoy my job. They push me to be a better nurse and demonstrate the best level of teamwork. When we, as a team, are able to help change the life of a patient, it makes all the late nights and sacrifices worth it." - Current RN
