Why you like working for LVHN: LVHN encourages me to put my best foot forward and to give my best to my patients and co-workers. They reward their staff with various gifts throughout the year. They give me the tools to succeed in my profession. There is great teamwork among the technologists and supporting staff of breast health services, generous people always ready to help.
