“I started working with Pure healthcare under Chris Kirk in 2020 through the Pandemic. Even though those challenges times Chris was very supportive, keeping me abreast with time and new procedures and ensuring that I remained competent and kept myself safe and protected. … He is always effective in getting the best accommodation to make me comfortable wherever I was assigned to work.”
