The job is challenging and ever-changing, which helps keep my brain sharp! AVH has been a great company to work for over the last 8 years, and it shows in how employees are valued and cared for."

- Melissa "The team members are incredibly dedicated to the delivery of care for our patients, to helping our staff feel valued and supported, and to the fiscal health of the hospital. They also genuinely care about each other, are able to laugh at themselves, and to tease each other because there is a basis of trust and mutual support.

I have laughed so hard at meetings that I have actually cried." - Diana It’s no surprise that our retention rate is BETTER than 90% of all other hospitals in the country! This application will close once a qualified candidate is successfully hired.
