Paul Szmal: and the recruiters and just learn what we have to offer. So joining a healthcare system and a situation and a situation like a Thompson Health gives you a variety of opportunities to do a variety of different things. So there's a lot of ground that it's going to be covered as part of this job fair.

We have certainly nursing positions, RNs and LPNs, respiratory therapists, radiology techs, pharmacy techs, but we also have entry-level positions. So things like clinical secretaries, nutrition services, environmental services. So we really do in a healthcare system have a wide variety of jobs available.
Paul Szmal: Yeah. It's not just about being a doctor or a nurse. There are again, a variety of things that are involved here. Where is this event going to take place at Torrey?
Tori Perrin Thompson: So it's at the Wayne Finger Lakes BOCES campus. The address is 131 Drumlin Court and it is between, it's kind of on the corner of East Maple Avenue and Vienna Street because there are several buildings on that campus, but we'll have some signs up and it will be in the Arcadia York building, which is one of the middle buildings when you come onto the campus. And we would love for you to come and meet us.
Paul Szmal: What are some of the advantages to working for an organization like Thompson Health Torrey?
Tori Perrin Thompson: So one of the biggest things we talk about is our culture. And we talk about that all the time because it is real. The culture here at Thompson is friendly. It is just a warm, welcoming environment. We feel like we are a community taking care of our community. It's a thriving health system. So folks who come here will have job security and certainly can be part of our Thompson community for years to come.

So it's just a fun, lovely place to work.
Paul Szmal: Are there any particular job titles or job descriptions that Thompson Health is most in need of right now?
Tori Perrin Thompson: I would say nursing is always a big one for any hospital at this point. So we're always looking for nurses. And things like pharmacy techs, radiology techs. Now pharmacy techs, you can be trained on the job. Patient care techs, you can be trained on the job. There are certain jobs like nursing, radiology techs, where you do have to have a degree for those jobs. So it's a wide variety.
Paul Szmal: And I like the idea that there's an emphasis on a work and life balance at Thompson Health. Can you kind of expand on that a little bit, Tori, and talk about that? I'm sure that's related to the culture of the workplace that you're talking about.
Tori Perrin Thompson: Yes, we do promote that. We want people to feel like, you know, certainly work is a huge part of our lives, but we don't want people to feel like they're sacrificing their home life for that. So we want to support people in that balance, which certainly in healthcare can be challenging. And we want people to know that we want to work with them to find that balance. You know, nursing jobs are tough and you work long hours, but we want to be sure that you also can find that balance and not feel like you're sacrificing your family.
