Q.png

Do you incentivize staff for referring new employees? How?

A.png

Yes, we incentivize staff for referring new employees. When a staff member refers a new employee and the new employee stays one year, the staff member who referred the new employee receives a $1,000 referral bonus.

Q.png

Does any employee other than your physicians, like RNs or scrub techs, operate the C-arm?

We employ radiology technologists to operate our C-arms and then cross-train them to other job roles, such as sterile processing. They could get certified as sterile processing techs, manage our medical gases, serve as safety officers or perform other jobs based on their skills and talents.
