You will contribute directly to our mission by providing quality services that enhance the patient experience and ensure efficient access to surgical care within our faith-based healthcare system.

Every day you will expertly schedule surgical procedures, considering the intricate availability of procedure rooms, equipment, staff, and anesthesia care providers using our Electronic Medical Record (EMR) scheduling software.
