There were no hospitals in the Old West, at least not out in the wide-open spaces away from cities. If you were lucky there’d be a Dr. Quinn, working on her own. Thankfully, medicine has evolved. Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula is a modern hospital bustling with trained and certified professionals who care about patients. Year after year they help elevate CHOMP as the best place to work in the Weekly’s readers’ poll, and this year is no different. Why? It’s a supportive team, for one. But there are also the little things, like a cantina (cafe, in their parlance) serving up good chow – and the best milkshake in town, too; see Specialty Food.
