I love the people, the sense of family and community on this team and in a broader sense across the hospital as a whole.I have worked for a HUGE corporation, and this is so much better!!It’s like CHEERS, where everybody knows your name. - Stacy

I love the flexibility that this job gives me, and the people I get to connect with and learn from. The job is challenging and ever-changing, which helps keep my brain sharp! AVH has been a great company to work for over the last 8 years, and it shows in how employees are valued and cared for. - Melissa

The team members are incredibly dedicated to the delivery of care for our patients, to helping our staff feel valued and supported, and to the fiscal health of the hospital. They also genuinely care about each other, are able to laugh at themselves, and tease each other because there is a basis of trust and mutual support. I have laughed so hard at meetings that I have actually cried. - Diana

It’s no surprise that our retention rate is BETTER than 90% of all other hospitals in the country!
