"I've been with CentraCare for 9 years because I know I'm making a difference in my community. Direct patient care is not something I was ever interested in but by working in recruitment I'm still able to indirectly make an impact. My work ties to patients and employees. I could do recruitment in any industry, but in healthcare, I'm truly changing lives."
