Rhea…our Financial and Support Services Supervisor!
January 28, 2010
Meet Rhea, our Financial and Support Services Manager. She provides leadership and direction to our clerical team.
Rhea started her career in the summer of 2000. According to Rhea, she always knew that she wanted to work in a hospital setting because it provides her with opportunities to have exposure to the different types of roles and job functions in healthcare. She chose Oncology because of her personal experience of dealing with cancer through loved ones. Rhea states, “I am very compassionate about helping others and doing my part to help make the burden of this difficult journey a little easier. I love being able to help people understand their billing statements and insurance correspondence. I want to make sure that they realize that there are different resources available to assist them with paying their bill. I don’t want them to have to stress about how they are going to pay but instead spend more time taking care of themselves so that they can receive the full benefit of their treatments. I always make sure that I put the patient first; always making time for them and never making them feel as if they are an inconvenience to me.”
When she is not at work she most enjoys spending time with her family. “I really enjoy being around my family, especially all of the children. I really enjoy singing and I pretty much sing every day of my life. I’m an easygoing person that appreciates a quiet night at home, with a good book to read.”
I asked her what was something most folks wouldn’t know about her and boy was I shocked at her answer! She stated, “I’m probably the biggest UFC mixed martial art fan EVER. I could watch UFC endlessly and it’s a personal goal of mine to one day attend a live fight in Las Vegas!”
You can be assured, whether your need is for billing assistance or financial aid resources, Rhea’s warm smile and friendly attitude will put you at ease.
Until next week, eat well and live strong!
