Thrive of Lake County
In 2020, we built and opened this new medical facility. We focus on patients of all ages here. Some come to us after a stay in a hospital, and need a little extra recovery time before they can safely go home. And, some of our patients are with us for the long term. We have many different types of positions within the center: clerical, dietary (restaurant/meal service), custodian/janitor… and of course many types of medical professionals. Check out our website (thriveahead.com) or the video link below for a virtual tour.
