Location: Wherever our veteran patients need us most! (Location: Alpena, MI)

About Us: We are a team of dedicated professionals with a mission: to give our veterans the care and respect they deserve.

• Keep a straight face when veterans inevitably challenge you to survival skill contests (extra points if you let them win).

Qualifications:

• • Strong desire to make every patient feel like they just met the healthcare equivalent of Indiana Jones.

  • Have an explorer's hat (optional, but highly encouraged).
  • Reside in or near Alpena, MI
    
    

Benefits:
