“My Job Makes Me Feel Joy”

Ms. Beverly Bynum lost her job three years ago after an organizational restructuring. She has extensive professional experience in medical billing, but she struggled to find another job, and applied for positions for two years with no success. She saw signs for Community of Hope’s Health Care Customer Service Training program, located at our Conway Health and Resource Center in Ward 8. The program was in her neighborhood, and she wondered if it might offer her the leg up she needed. A few months later, she got a job she loves right here at Community of Hope as our front desk receptionist. “I get to be part of a place that really gives to my community,” she says. “My job makes me feel joy.” 

We are thrilled to have Ms. Bynum as the first welcoming face our guests see!
