a career and they have options,” he added. “We think that’s a message that’s been under served.” Hill said GE Healthcare has found success when it can get potential employees excited about the work it’s doing. Medical imaging, after all, is about finding, diagnosing and treating injuries, disease and illness, so there is a pretty clear connection to helping people live healthier lives. “It’s always easier when you have a mission and the mission here is really clear,” Hill said.
