Job Description:
Overview\nCHI Mercy Health offers the unique opportunity to grow
professionally in a supportive highly rewarding work environment
and to satisfy your soul in the surroundings of a breathtakingly
beautiful natural setting. More than 100 years after the founding
of our organization the core values - Compassion Inclusion
Integrity Excellence and Collaboration - that guide our
interactions with our patients and each other remain the same. In
the welcoming embrace of these nurturing communities you will feel
immediately at home. \nRoseburg is located on Interstate 5 in
Southern Oregons scenic Douglas County. The community is nestled in
a lush forested region known as the 100 Valleys of the Umpqua. In
many places you'll find it hard to maintain a healthy
work-life/personal-life balance because the pace of one is
indistinguishable from the other. Not here. Life never stops here
but it slows to an easy welcome pace. A traffic jam means you
missed the yellow and have to wait for the next green. A terrible
parking space is the one across from the restaurant instead of in
front of it. And the three words you may never hear are "Wow that's
expensive." Easy is the best way to describe life here.
Hard-to-beat works too.\n \nWhile you're busy impacting the
healthcare industry, we'll take care of you with benefits that may
include health/dental/vision, FSA, matching retirement plans, paid
vacation, adoption assistance, annual bonus eligibility, and
more!\n \n[Click here to view the ANTI-RETALIATION NOTICE / Oregon
