At CHG Healthcare, our Putting People First culture encourages our employees to not only take care of each other and our customers, but to make a difference in our communities as well. Last year, we introduced our Difference Makers award as a way to recognize our people’s volunteer efforts and give them an opportunity to give back on a global scale.
Four Difference Makers and their guests joined our CEO Scott Beck on a company-sponsored humanitarian trip to Kenya, where the group had the opportunity to learn more about the Kenyan culture and to help build a much-needed school for boys. Read more about their journey in this CHG Pulse story.
2017 Difference Makers
This year, we’re sending six Difference Makers to Kenya for another company-sponsored humanitarian trip. These individuals were chosen for their dedication to serving others and commitment to living our Putting People First core value in every aspect of their lives.
