People who work in health care attend to the medical needs of millions of people each day. Health care professionals combine the latest technology and a human touch to offer care in a number of settings.


Health care employees come in all
shapes and sizes. They include the
nurse working in a one-doctor rural
physician practice, to the pharmacist working in a large inner-city hospital, to the therapist traveling to patients’ homes.
