Overview: p style="margin: 0px;"CHI Health St. Mary’s has served Nebraska City and the surrounding areas since 1927. In the fall of 2014, St. Mary’s opened the doors of a brand-new, fully modernized facility. The new 110,000-square-foot campus is better equipped to meet the changing needs of our community with, among other benefits, an increased capacity for specialty clinics and an integrated primary care clinic. St. Mary’s encourages collaboration and care coordination among primary care physicians and medical specialists. This contributes to the high quality of care our patients have come to expect./p Responsibilities: p style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"strongspan style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; color: #000000;"JOB SUMMARY / PURPOSE /span/strong/pp style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; color: #000000; font-weight: 400;"As a values-based organization, our employees: /span/pp style="margin-left: 36pt; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; color: #000000; font-weight: 400;"1) Promote a strong belief in CHI Health’s Missions, values and Goals. /span/pp style="margin-left: 36pt; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; color: #000000; font-weight: 400;"2) Demonstrate behavior consistent with CH Health’s Core Values: Reverence, Integrity, Compassion, and Excellence./span/pp style="margin: 0px;" /pp style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; color: #000000; font-weight: 400;" Provide a clean, safe and friendly environment for patients, visitors and all staff in accordance with departmental policies and procedures.
