Working at an organization that’s mission focuses on the health and safety of children is beyond what I ever expected. Although I don’t work in a patient care role, I feel the impact my work has on the staff I aim to support. Their experience working in our hospitals directly correlates to the care they’re able to provide to both their patients and families. CHOP prioritizes the people they employee, and that’s truly why I love working here and am honored to be a part of the team!
