"Our ability to serve patients, their families, and the wider community rests on the continued contributions of our caregivers, so we are committed to enhancing the experience, environment, and career opportunities we offer," said Margie Vargas, SVP, chief human resources officer at Memorial Healthcare System. "Memorial is dedicated to enriching its workplace culture and fostering an environment that distinguishes us from both local and national competitors."
