About the Job
You went into the healthcare field so you could help people.
You’re a problem solver. You’re a get-it-done kind of person. But you’ve found there are a lot of things in the medical field keeping you from enjoying what you set out to do.
Are you tired of drama and being micromanaged? Are you tired of working crazy hours?
This is a job where you can change lives AND have a life you love. We are looking for a patient-focused person who thrives on being in charge.
Your family will love you because this employer values your time with them. Your patients will love you because you’re helping them make progress. And you will love you because work will be something to look forward to.
