At Baptist Community Health Services, we look for individuals who truly care about the patient population that we serve and have the clinical skills necessary to deliver quality patient care. We have hired several Herzing University graduates this year, primarily for medical assisting roles. We also work with Herzing students through clinical rotations at our facilities, including one-on-one rotations with students in Herzing’s Family Nurse Practitioner (MSN-FNP) program.

Herzing does a great job of articulating the importance of patient care and their graduates are ready to get to work on day one. Our work is focused on providing care for medically underserved populations, so it’s very important that our employees are able to make their patients feel comfortable as they deliver excellent care. Herzing graduates already have the skills they need to cultivate relationships and build trust with our patients, as well as support the doctor in all aspects of patient care.

Our partnership with Herzing has been very beneficial. Herzing does a great job of educating students who fit well into our healthcare model, and we look forward to continuing to build and grow our relationship with them
