What are the responsibilities and job description for the Receptionist position at The US Oncology Network?
Overview
Rocky Mountain Cancer Centers, Colorado's largest and most comprehensive provider of cancer care has an exciting opportunity for a Receptionist at our St. Peregrine location in Colorado Springs.
We realize that it sounds cliché but it is true - taking care of cancer patients is a calling. It’s much more than a job. Each of us has a unique story that brought us to Rocky Mountain Cancer Centers (RMCC), but those stories usually share common themes of care, compassion, and commitment.
No matter the role each RMCC team member serves in, the goal is the same: to provide the best care possible for each and every one of our patients. Whether we are a nurse holding our patient’s hand, or a scheduler on the phone finding an appointment that fits into a patient’s schedule, we are deeply connected to our patients and do what we can to help.
If this sounds like you, we’d love to have you join our team.
