Your Best Medicine with Brittany Washington
Have you ever wondered what it's like to work at a hospital? What types of jobs are available here? Or what it means to be part of BJC, one of the largest nonprofit health care organizations in the country? Learn more in this new series of interviews with the dedicated team members of Christian Hospital and Northwest HealthCare.
Brittany Washington has been with Christian Hospital for one year as a cashier in the Courtyard Café.
In your job, how do you provide your best medicine to our patients?
My job gives me the opportunity to interact with a lot of people, especially since I open in the morning. It gives me the opportunity to start the day with that positive energy and give it to the people that come through my line.
What is your favorite or most rewarding part of your job?
My favorite thing is the Child Development Center and the support I get. I’m breastfeeding my 9-month old daughter over there and they’re very supportive of that and I’ll continue as long she’s nursing. I love the support I get.
Why do you choose to work at Christian Hospital?
I choose to work at Christian Hospital because my first day here I got really positive energy from all the people I work with in the café. When they found out that I was pregnant that support continued even though they barely knew me, and that was very helpful! I still get that support today. I love that energy and positive environment that I’m in today working at Christian Hospital.
