“I discovered how family oriented the health staffers are with all of the UMMS entities and with each other. The community-based projects, the employee recognitions that are posted for all to see, the employee incentives, etc. I assumed that healthcare was just strictly focused on patients and their families, but I now know that they also focus on the staffers and their families as well. I love it.”
“What I enjoy most about the work that I do here at UMMS is being challenged and surrounded by people who really care about patients”
“The people are what I enjoy most about my job and what keeps me here. That and the team work, ability to learn and advance, and everyone’s attitude towards patient care.”
