LaShonda is a Medical Secretary III and has been with us since April 2022. Her favorite part about her job is being multifunctional. “As the secretarial float I have to learn all the other scheduler and secretary job functions for when they’re not in office that day and/or week. I have learned a ton of new and useful job skills since coming on board.”
