PMC currently employs more than 500 nurses.
Chief Nursing Officer Greg Trosper says what separates the nurses at PMC is their commitment to the community.
"I've never been at a place where you have such longevity in careers here," Trosper said. "I have nurses that have been working here for 40 years and that's abnormal. The dedication that they have is shown in the years of service that they provide here at PMC and they continue to educate themselves and try to become the best nurses that they can to provide the best care that they can."
