Dental department needs a great deal of improvement. Extremely high turnover rate and managers are not the best when it comes to asking for assistance or if you're having a issue with another coworker; nothing will be done about it. 

Working at CHA dental feel as if you're still in high school and if you're not apart of the particular group then watch your back. On the other hand, I've meet some of the most amazing people throughout the department! Sadly they're no longer employed with CHA or transferred to different departments. 

I can honestly say with all the turnovers and bad management, changes are being  implemented. Hopefully we'll start to see better opportunities for this department. 

A typical day at work can include one-on-one meetings with my supervisor, collaboration across departments and teams, and agency-wide trainings. Since joining, I’ve learned so much about public health and the impact we make in the community. Management is incredibly supportive and approachable, and the workplace culture is diverse and focused on employee wellness and engagement. We have multiple locations and mobile units to reach underserved populations, which makes our mission even more meaningful. The benefits are fantastic—13 paid holidays plus a floating holiday, fully covered health insurance through CHA, wellness stipends twice a year, and tuition reimbursement. I truly feel valued here.

When I first began working in County Government, the agency was a county health department and was operated under the county.  The people I worked with were wonderful, caring people who became very close friends.  The goals of the agency, and the different departments were all oriented toward a common goal. The most rewarding part of this job was knowing the difference you made in the lives of the clients and the community. I grew both in my knowledge and my expertise while employed there.

At Cabarrus Health Alliance we were required to see 6 patients a day and provide care and complete electronic charting on each patient.  We were also on call at least one night a week and then about every 6th weekend we were on call the entire weekend.  I felt like I learned many new skills while working at CHA.  There were many in house training sessions sponsered per CHA for our professional developement.  The most enjoyable part of the job had to be the other professionals like PT, OT and ST who we could interact on a daily basis.  IT was a good group of people to work with and for.

The experience that I felt from working at CHA was long positive learning experience. I enjoyed learning the various systems and working with them. I also enjoyed being apart of such a diverse group of people who were more than willing to help out the next individual with no exceptions. The management team was so supportive and they would go to any and all measures to make your working environment as comfortable and informational as possible. I would recommend people of all nationalities to apply and become apart of the family as well!

When working 32 hours per week in the Mammogram unit, it was a very busy work in taking the phone calls and determining eligibility and preparing the case files for the appointments.  Because it was dealing with health issues, one realized it was important.  

When I went to the WIC department, I was able to enjoy routine work in a strictly clerical capacity but routine work does not bore me.  I get a lot accomplished and work quickly.

Typical day at work was ever-changing depending on the season. Medical setting is always fast-paced and thriving to run more efficiently. I learned that people are our best commodity. Management was hard to break in to at first. But over the years, the need to open up to Diversity on Senior Leadership was improving. The hardest part of the job was leaving. I enjoyed helping our clients (youth and pregnant mothers) with all of their issues. The co-workers are some of the BEST folks you could ever want to work with and very good at what they do daily for the public.
