Parkview Health is adding 300 new jobs to its local network, officials announced Monday.
Those are among 850 open positions at the nonprofit health care provider, which is looking for people to work directly with patients and behind the scenes.
Openings include jobs for registered nurses, LPNs, surgical technologists, medical assistants, cooks, housekeepers, administrative and clerical workers.
Hallie Custer, director of human resources operations and recruitment, pointed to expanding services to explain Parkview's growth.
Parkview Physicians Group recently opened an office on Lima Road, north of Dupont Road, for example. The building includes imaging and lab services, which are additions for that area, she said.
Additional physician offices with imaging and labs are in the pipeline, but officials weren't ready to provide details Monday afternoon. They revealed, however, that some of the new positions are tied to those expanded services.
“We want to try to speed up that access” for patients, said Jeff Rice, Parkview recruitment manager.
