Job DetailsJob Location: SILVER SPRING, MD 20902Salary Range: $22.00 - $29.00 HourlyWhy Apex?
Most hospitals say they care about culture. We designed ours.

For many clients, you are the very first person they meet. The compassion, professionalism, and confidence you bring can shape their entire experience.

You're the first impression of the hospital and an essential part of the emergency team.
Every shift is different. One moment you're welcoming a worried family through the front door. The next you're coordinating incoming emergencies, answering questions, and helping keep the hospital running smoothly.
