14 Bringing healthcare news to your home Columbus Community Hospital is more than a place where you and your loved ones receive exceptional healthcare. It’s also a welcoming and rewarding space where you can volunteer or pursue a fulfilling career. Here’s a quick look at some of the many ways people contribute as volunteers or employee team members at CCH — and why you might want to join them. Workplace feels like family, great benefits CCH is like a small city, with many different career paths available, said Michelle Meyer, the hospital’s human resources director. In addition to serving as physicians, nurses, therapists, laboratory techs and other clinical professionals, employees work in areas such as: ● Information technology. ● Finance. ● Environmental services. ● Food services. ● Facilities maintenance. “It takes every single person to make this place run efficiently,” Rewarding volunteer and career opportunities available Work or volunteer at CCH! Meyer said. “Everyone is valued and supported here.” Asked what stands out about working at CCH, Meyer pointed to the personal connections among staff, patients and the community. “Because we’re a community hospital, our employees care for their neighbors, friends and family members,” she said. “That helps create a level of compassion and dedication you might not always see in larger hospitals.” You can start a new career at CCH, as well as develop professionally. “Many of our employees build a long career here, supported by mentorship, education and a team that truly wants to see them be successful,” Meyer said. CCH also offers generous benefits, including health insurance options covering employees and their families, a retirement plan, and educational assistance that can help you continue training or advance your healthcare career. CCH currently has 125 employees who have more than 20 years of service. Meyer herself has worked here for 39 years. “In many ways, it feels less like a workplace and more like family,” she said. Volunteers provide crucial support Volunteers fill a vital need at CCH, and the hospital depends on them daily. Among their many contributions, they free up patient care staff so they can focus on providing excellent care to patients. Serving with heart, Kathy Jackson exemplifies service excellence through her dedication to the beverage cart — bringing comfort, care and kindness to every patient and staff interaction.
