By attracting and retaining the highest-skilled professionals who share our mission, vision and values, this department directly contributes to our culture of excellence and plays an essential role in supporting our position as a leader in our field.
Whether it’s leveraging technology to enhance the way we communicate with potential candidates, pursuing new initiatives to recognize individual contributions or helping foster our unique, family-oriented environment, Human Resources makes a real impact on the way we perform. At HSS, we know that by taking care of the people we work with, we can take better care of the patients we serve – and at the end of the day, that’s why we’re all here.

When people think about healthcare they think of doctors and nurses, but it goes way beyond that. I’m responsible for employee data: everything from hires to transfers, salary changes to time off. I’m behind the scenes but my team helps take care of the staff that takes care of our patients.
It’s part of a wider culture where everyone looks out for each other. For example, I’m in my current role because my boss said: ‘Hey, there’s a position in HR that looks like the next step for you.’ She understood my background and my ambitions and even though losing me meant more work for her she still encouraged my growth.
