Current Title: Human Resources Manager
Current Employer: CommuniCare Family of Companies
Industry: Long-Term Care/Post-Acute Care
I was always interested in becoming part of the health care world. I also wanted to help people.
The minor fit my major well. I ultimately want to own my own healthcare business. I learned about important business principals in my major and learned all about health care and how it works in my minor.
I do everything human resources related in my company. CommuniCare is one of the largest providers of post-acute care in the nation. The company has long-term care centers, assisted living communities, independent rehabilitation centers, skills nursing rehabilitation centers and long-term acute care hospitals under its umbrella. I hire employees, work on benefits, focus on employee retention, manage payroll, and manage anything else that has a human resources component to it.
I started out as a Human Resources Generalist and am now a Human Resources Manager at the same company.
I learned about health care operations and terminology in the Health Administration Minor. This knowledge helps me do my job better.
