“Working at LRHC has expanded my medical knowledge more than I could have ever imagined. Working at FMS, satellite clinics, spine clinic and surgery, as a hospitalist on weekends and occasionally in the emergency department has expanded my understanding of patient care and its challenges. It makes me respect each component of the LRHC workforce as we all depend on each other to produce excellent patient care and successful outcomes. Wow, what a great group of co-workers!”
