Let’s be honest: the "perfect" work-life balance doesn't exist. It’s a constant, daily navigation. But when you have an employer that actively supports your pivots, everything changes. Meet Connor Santo, husband, dad and a Development Facilitator at Ascension. Connor doesn't just manage his career; he thrives outside of it. When his son was born, Connor utilized Ascension's parental leave to focus entirely on what matters most. Today, he uses generous PTO to travel and recharge, while still finding the time outside of work to teach spin classes, volunteer at Camp Boggy Creek, and focus on his well-being. "My leaders see me as Connor first, not just as someone who shows up to complete tasks." — Connor S. When associates are supported, they can bring their absolute best, most authentic selves to work.🌟

From basic training to the talent pipeline. 🎖️ 24 years ago, Tony and Jolene met at Ft. Jackson while serving in the U.S. Army. Today, they’re bringing that same Mission-driven teamwork to #LifeAtAscension. Transitioning to civilian life can be tough. Tony quickly realized that military leadership doesn't always translate easily to a civilian resume. Now, working just one floor apart (Tony downstairs, Jolene upstairs), they use their experience to bridge that exact gap. Check out their full-circle journey, and connect with a team that speaks your language: http://ascn.io/6048BDd5LI. #VeteranHiring #MilitaryTransition
