Topeka company to add 90 new positions

11:18 a.m. Tuesday, November 14, 2006

Ninety additional positions are needed to support the expansion of the Health Revenue Center's First Call Party Center.

The increased demand is due to the number of veterans returning from wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Those veterans are overloading resources at Veteran's Hospitals across the country.

But with a larger staff at the call center, the hospitals can devote more resources to serving their patients.

Topeka Mayor Bill Buntun says the 90 additional jobs, paired woth the 350 workers the company already employs, will be a great benefit to the Topeka economy.

The company is holding a job fair at the Colmery-O'Neil VA Medical Center this Thursday.
