I love working here because I feel like the work we're doing truly matters.

0:10

Hi, my name is Laura McBride and I've been with the company about six years. The work really revolves around the individual you're supporting — that could look like being a companion, someone who's there to spend time and make sure the individual feels supported and secure.

0:29

It's not defined by one specific moment, but anytime I see that we're able to make that happen for somebody — an individual or a family member who so desperately needs support — it's just a really magic moment.

0:37

What I love is our growth and our willingness to innovate — looking into the barriers we're seeing and asking how we can do this better.

0:50

I've been able to navigate multiple healthcare systems across many states. I stay because I believe in what we're building — I truly feel like OneWell has an opportunity to make a difference.

0:58

I would tell somebody to come in with an open mind and a willingness to learn. If you're looking for a position where you do the same thing every day, OneWell may not be the place for you.

1:15

But if you come in willing to adapt and grow with the individual you're serving, there's definitely a huge opportunity to make a big impact. It's all about making decisions that are in the best interest of the individuals you're caring for — those decisions could look a little different day to day, but they're mainly based around their primary needs and goals.

1:31

So being able to adapt, think quickly, and make the safest decision to make sure the individual's health and welfare is at the forefront.
