The Power of People Helping People
The Story of Exceptional Care & Training Center
In 1988, two old friends and business colleagues, Dr. Bruce Hutson and Lewis Wood came together to form a non-profit organization to save four communities from bankruptcy. Thus what today is known as HutsonWood was formed. Since that time the organization has grown to now include eight nursing and assisted living communities located in Illinois, Indiana, and Tennessee along with 14 affordable housing communities located across the southeast.
Having a mission of serving the healthcare and shelter needs of our local communities in a compassionate and respectful manner, HutsonWood is always looking for talented individuals who are not just looking for a job but for a home where they can truly make a difference in the world. We consider ourselves one big work family and hope that you would also like to become one of our family members providing compassionate care to those we serve.
