You'll Love This Job If You Have:
- Passion for Preventive Health: You believe health is about more than treating illness—you want to help people understand their bodies and reach their goals.

- Grit and Flexibility: You don't mind early mornings or getting your hands dirty. You're resourceful—when something's broken, you fix it or propose solutions instead of waiting for someone else.
