Meet the Santos Family at CentraState Healthcare System in New Jersey
CentraState Healthcare System located in Freehold, NJ is a nonprofit community health organization consisting of an acute-care hospital, an ambulatory campus, three-senior living communities, a family medicine residency program, and a charitable foundation. Over the years, CentraState has employed multiple family members from numerous families in NJ.
In this "Focus on Diversity" issue of our bimonthly eNewsletter, we are featuring 4 members of the Santos family who work at CentraState - 3 family members have worked at CentraState for over 24 years! Joe Santos is the spokesperson for the Santos family.
Pat Magrath from DiversityNursing.com recently had the opportunity to chat with Joe Santos, RN and Unit Manager at CentraState's Manor Rehab Healthcare Center. Joe said "every day is a different day working in the Rehab Center. My patience is tested daily and I love it".
Joe grew up in the Philippines and while living there, Joe's father was diagnosed with cancer. Joe took care of his father. He loved taking care of him and discovered he had a passion for it. Joe was always interested in science and medicine, but medical school in the Philippines was too expensive, so he became a Mining Engineer. When Joe immigrated to the US in 1989, no one needed his mining engineer skills so he went to CentraState and applied for a job as an orderly. He was hired the next day.
Joe has worked at CentraState for 24 years. While working as an orderly, he went to school and became an LPN. CentraState encouraged him to further his education and paid his tuition fees to become an RN where he is now the Unit Manager at the Manor. Over the years, Joe has been appointed Acting Director of Nursing, not once, but twice. He was happy to help out, but he was not interested in the position on a permanent basis.
