They also genuinely care about each other, are able to laugh at themselves, and tease each other because there is a basis of trust and mutual support. I have laughed so hard at meetings that I have actually cried.” - Diana It's no surprise that our retention rate is BETTER than 90% of all other hospitals in the country!
