    - Holds themselves and others to high professional standards
    - Communicates clearly and provides constructive coaching
    - Anticipates and addresses issues proactively
    - Balances mission-driven care with operational excellence
    - Leads with accountability, respect, and consistency
    - Brings structure and organization to fast-paced environments

    - Full-time or part-time flexibility
    - Paid Time Off (PTO)
    - Paid Holidays (full-time positions)
    - Health, dental, vision, life, critical illness, short-term and long-term disability insurance (based on eligibility)
