Notes from the hiring manager: Proton Therapy is a new/unique radiation treatment that has helped many people get back to what they love most. We are part of the cutting edge of radiation treatment and it is great to be at the forefront watching how it unfolds with the patient and how the NAPT association works closely with our center/s and Washington to move the needle to more accessible healthcare treatment. It is a smaller center where the patient can be seen for 30 days in a row so you get to know the patient very well. We are looking for someone to help us achieve our goals and walk through this adventure together. As a manager I have high expectations of my team. I expect teamwork, kindness, follow-through, and excellence.
