Important Stats
Every Story Matters
“The relationships one develops with patients and families is the key for me. I’m still amazed that parents trust me to care for their child, after just meeting me for the first time. I’m humbled by their faith and trust. I will sometimes see patients or families I cared for 10, or even 20 years ago. From a surgeon’s perspective, it is remarkable!”
“My favorite part about being involved with HOLA, an employee resource group, is sharing my Hispanic heritage with other employees and with our community. I am very proud to be a member because I have a seat at the table to share my opinions and make a difference.”
“I’ve worked in the restaurant business for over 20 years and I’ve worked just about every position from general manager to cook to dishwasher. I came here because I was looking for a better quality of life. Here, we’re able to come in early and leave at a reasonable hour and still have family time, which is what I wanted. I met my wife here and we’ve been married four years and we have two lovely children. I take a lot of pride in my job. It’s my job to know who people are and what they eat, and that’s what I do. I listen to every comment given from every guest and we make the best food that we can.”
