MJHS attracts individuals who see their work as a calling as well as a job. Professionals in every job category have stated that they appreciate being left to make their own decisions, are encouraged to voice their opinions, and are given the necessary breathing room to do their work with minimal supervision.

Do you have a "Hospice Heart"?

If your answer is yes, then you are just the clinician we are looking for. When days cannot be added to a life, we add life to remaining days.
