Job Description:
About Company: Blue Summit Hospice and Palliative Care was
founded based on the knowledge that great clinical care can only be
achieved by a great clinical staff. Our company was started by
clinicians with hands-on experience working in end-of-life care.
And our goal is not only to provide the best possible care but also
to be the best possible place to work. We place as much focus on
staff training and retention as we do on our patient care. And

commitment to meeting the unique needs of the patients and families
we serve. Blue Summit has that same level of commitment to our
