NorthStar Surgical Center (Lubbock, Texas)
Type of facility: Ambulatory surgery center
What makes it a Best Place to Work: NorthStar Surgical Center prioritizes service by giving back to the local community and world at large. Service opportunities at NorthStar are manifested in many ways, including medical mission trips to Mexico, Honduras, Africa and Thailand. The center also makes itself available as a teaching partner for the healthcare community by serving as a rotation facility for clinical training programs through Covenant School of Nursing, Texas Tech University School of Nursing and the South Plains College Surgical Technology programs. A number of NorthStar employees also volunteer as mentors for local high school students interested in a career in healthcare through the Groundhog Day Shadow Program. "This is where I want to end my nursing career," says Vicki Ball, RN, director of nursing. "In my seven years here, I've found this to be the one facility where I can be the best nurse that I can be because at NorthStar we are empowered to be the best we can be."
