Hear from our interns
The different departments welcomed me from day one, answered my questions, encouraged me to participate, and made me feel like I was truly part of something bigger. It showed me that being in healthcare means being part of a team where every voice matters, and every role has an impact. Being a COACH intern has helped me discover the kind of provider, and person, that I want to be: compassionate, attentive, and grounded in community.”

From day one, everyone was welcoming and eager to make me feel like part of the team. I met so many people who taught me meaningful lessons in work ethic and professional etiquette.
I grew both professionally and personally by making the most of every opportunity and learning from anywhere I could, both inside and outside of HR. Overall, it was an experience I will not ever forget!”
