Chonté Garcia
HR Coordinator
About Chonté
I am the Human Resources Coordinator. I work with clinicians beginning to work with our company, as well as ensuring credentials of current clinicians are up-to-date. I strive to establish a positive relationship with the therapists regarding anything to do with Human Resources, and to ensure they are happy working with our company. I also work with agencies if they have any requests regarding the clinicians, such as asking for credentials so they may see a patient, whom I also establish positive relations with and address requests in a timely manner.
I love arts and crafts, watching movies, and playing pool. Shopping is also a hobby of mine that is a love-hate relationship.
