Pros

Excellent culture of truly putting the patient and their family first across business units. Opportunity for advancement if you own your own development.

Cons

So many jobs available in healthcare it can be difficult to know what career path to take if you don't know more about each job individually. Could use additional information on what different types of health professions do for their every day work.
