Job Opportunity at Northern Navajo Medical Center

Shiprock, New Mexico, known as Tse Bit'a'I in the Navajo language, is a place where the past is present. The area is rich in history, with Hopi families still carrying water to pueblo villages atop high mesas. Granaries at Keet Seel ruins hold corn cobs stored seven centuries ago. Navajo families farm centuries-old fields in Canyon de Chelly National Monument, the site of prehistoric cliff dwellings. Hopi and Navajo artisans sell their rugs and jewelry at the Hubble Trading Post. The ABQ International Sunport offers 415 flights per day, serviced by Advanced Air, JetBlue, Alaska, Southwest, American Airlines, Spirit, Boutique Air, United Airlines, and Delta Airlines.
