Happy Labor Day!

Held on the first Monday of September, Labor Day is an opportunity for us to celebrate and recognize the people behind Medstar’s advocacy to drive happiness through service. Despite the continuing health threats and economical crisis in the world, they remained consistent in fulfilling their duties. 

At Medstar, we honor and celebrate our employees in every way we can– and this Labor Day is special. We interviewed dedicated employees about what they love most about working at Medstar and what keeps them driven. 

Here’s what they said:

I stayed in Medstar because I feel appreciated and my hard work does not go unnoticed! I enjoy being able to be there for the customers. Medstar is a great place to work because it cares about and supports its employees.
— Joseph Brandt, Field Assistant
What I love most about Medstar are the customers and the adventures we are on with each trip. I love the way our customers light up when they see me coming. I stayed at Medstar because of the customer and the staff, and the challenge is never the same–each day is different!
— Teresa Asbury, Driver/Scheduler
I like working flexible hours and being treated like family. I actually had two job offers, but I heard we’re able to drive war veterans around when we get the contract so I stuck with Medstar. It’s been a privilege and honor to drive veterans to appointments, talk to them and listen.
— Dwayne Evans, Driver
What I love most about this Company is that I feel like they really care about their employees and are very flexible when I need them. Besides, they are always on top of everything. Whatever it is, they always answer you and help you with whatever you need. I stayed in this Company because I like to do what I do. I enjoy being able to help others, and I hope to continue here for much longer.
— Sandy Martinez, Driver
I love that Medstar is a small ever growing family-owned business helping out the communities all over Washington State. It’s like your family while away from your own family.
— Geana Rivera, Call Center Manager
What I love most about Medstar is seeing all kinds of places all over Washington State. I’ve been to all four corners and all over the central parts. I would have never been to these places if I didn’t drive for Medstar. If someone asks me if I’ve been to some unknown, out of way place…. I’ll probably say ‘Been there, done that
— Glenn Hastings, Driver
What I love most about Medstar is the camaraderie among my co-drivers & other employees. There is that bonding with each other, helping & laughing together. I feel secure working with Medstar, not only with the pay but also with the van I’m using. Regular maintenance & inspections make me secure to drive my van. Our clients make me stay with the company. I don’t deny that there are clients who are a pain in the neck, but the majority of them are worthwhile giving the best service possible, I love serving them.
— Ernesto Catanghal, Driver
Medstar is a great place to work in. Prior to joining the Company, I worked in the office for more than 15 years. Medstar gave me an opportunity to experience a flexible, remote and fun working environment. Now, I have more time to be with my family. Furthermore, I appreciate the Management for being open to suggestions and being supportive so we can fulfill our assigned tasks.
— Ivan Lim, Developer

Salute to our Medstar employees who never fail to provide safe and reliable services to individuals and communities in need 24/7. Seasons may change but our team’s dedication remains this Labor Day and the days ahead.
