Why We Love Working at PHC
Hear from PHC team members about purpose, growth, and the impact we make together.
PHC gives me chances I wouldn’t get elsewhere.
“…there’s been opportunities that I’ve had at PHC that I haven’t really had or wouldn’t have with other companies or with other healthcare disciplines.”
— John Shaw, Director of Clinics | Watch clip (Heart of PHC podcast)
Work that matters -- help people get care every day.
“PHC’s I-CARE values and mission drew me in. Our team breaks barriers every day and never wavers in compassionate care for those in need.”
— Alysha Galbreath, Referral Coordinator
People-first flexibility for patients and teammates.
“I get the flexibility to be able to say, ‘I need to step out and help this person—or help this person on my team.’”
— Shelby Ridley, Directors of Programs | Watch clip (Heart of PHC podcast)
Work where patients feel seen and teammates show up for you.
“PHC motivates me to give my all so patients feel heard and cared for. The daily teamwork here is truly inspiring.’”
