No matter the role, each Compass team member serves in, the goal is the same: to provide the best care possible for each and every one of our patients. If this sounds like you, please reach out to us. We can't wait to hear your story.

This person will assist in the clerical management and scheduling of the PET department, which is an important aspect to the diagnosis and evaluation of our patients.
