VHA and VHA Southeast operate to improve the clinical success of our member organizations as well as to reduce their supply spend, through Novation, VHA’s supply company.

We’ve had a recent staffing change in our office and are exploring the possibility of identifying someone who would be interested in working part-time as a paid accounting intern to process our accounts payable (done twice monthly) and direct deposits of staff travel expenses (weekly) along with some general month-end types of things. There may be other things added along the way, but I wouldn’t anticipate a commitment of more than two days a week, and we have the ability to be fairly flexible with our schedule.
