The community is known for its small-town charm, extensive vineyards, and delightful local restaurants and bakeries.

Coordinating the transfer of patients to tertiary centers, including the transfer of patient information required for continuity of ongoing treatment and services, is part of the job. You will provide oversight and collect data required for regulatory and accreditation compliance.
