If someone asked you what you do, how would you answer them? I assist doctors with obtaining privileges at hospitals so that they can work in a hospital to help patients.
Why did you choose to work at CHG? I chose CHG because I was looking for a place of employment that would allow me to be there for my daughters. At the time I started working with CHG, my oldest was 2 and had a few health challenges (thankfully there are no more), and my youngest was almost two months old. This company allowed/allows me to be with them at times when it really matters most.
