I must say Select care is one the most enjoyable agencies in New York to work for. I’ve been in healthcare for awhile and this company and their staff are professional, friendly, and go the extra mile for their staff and clients. Highly recommend.

She treats you like family and I am grateful to be apart of the team.view more testimonials
