Message from the President and CEO
Dear Prospective Employee
I’m glad that you’re interested in joining our team!
At Summit Health, we believe that employees are the foundation of our business. Without dedicated, caring, and highly skilled employees, we wouldn’t be able to realize the success we’ve earned.
To be part of our team, you’ll need to be sincerely committed to exceeding our patients’ expectations every single day. We’re here to help our patients feel better – and that means doing a lot more than treating their problems and sending them home. They are our guests, and we’re delighted to have the opportunity to help them heal.
While you’re making your decision about joining our team, here are some other facts you might be interested in. Best of luck in your job search, and perhaps I’ll see you at one of our hospitals, health centers, or physician practices very soon.
Sincerely,
Norman B. Epstein, President and CEO
