Company Overview

CHOC and CHOC at Mission offer countless employment opportunities in clinical environments. Whether you’re a nurse with 30 years of experience or a recent graduate looking for growth opportunities, CHOC and CHOC at Mission offer something for everyone. Every department functions with a shared mission: to nurture, advance and protect the health and well-being of children. Each of our Associates, clinical and non-clinical, truly makes an impact on the level of patient care we are able to provide and the overall patient/family experience of those we are privileged to treat within our doors. And while we all take our mission very seriously, there are also times for us to simply enjoy being a team.
