Transcript

My career has been made special while working here at UH Seidman Cancer Center. As this was my first start out of college for being a Radiation Therapist. Two things that come to mind with this question are the ability to advance myself within this department and the advantage of using tuition reimbursement. During the last 10 years of my career at UH I was able to learn special procedures, which is where I am. Become the lead therapist at a new satellite office, finish my master's degree and become an advanced lead Radiation Therapist here in special procedures. I came back to main campus, something else that comes to mind are the people! I've learned from everyone around me, patients and staff. This is truly a company I value working for and a company I hope to move up in.

ANEESAH DAVIS: You have a choice to be here or not be here. The choice for me to just actually just stay here is just, I love it. I love it here to be honest and the opportunities that it allowed me to have and grow. That's basically why I choose to stay here.

SONORA HOWSON: My favorite part is probably the people I work with. I mean I'm interested in the procedures and I feel like we do a lot of good. But like the thing that has me excited to come back every day is just that I work with such an incredible team. Really talented people and it feels like a family. I know that's like kind of trite to say but it does feel like that.

ALVIN MANIGAULT: One of the things I was really impressed with my time being at UH, just from a managerial and leadership perspective, I think they do a phenomenal job. My leadership specifically in terms of just being involved and engaged and also listening as well to matters, issues or concerns and then working to establish some type of implementing change. I think subsequently for me as an employee, it really makes me feel as if I'm heard, my voice is heard and that also my perspective can have an impact on the overall overarching picture as well.
