Yeah,
my name is Hazel
Ariana.
I'm a medical assistant here at Urban
Health Institute for Cooper University Health Care.
I chose to work in health care because I like to help people.
And I know that sounds cliche.
But before I worked in health care, I worked at a warehouse where I made good money,
but I wasn't happy and money wasn't enough.
I was not helping people the way I wanted to and my job didn't make a difference and I,
I wasn't proud of my work.
Um here at U H I, we make a difference.
Our patients come to us for medical needs and
also trust us to help with transportation and housing.
My favorite part of working in U H I is that
we have a diversity within our patients and our staff,
our patients, trust us to help them feel safe,
heard and understood. I'm able to empathize and I'm able to relate to them
and you can't beat that. I'm really proud of my work now.
