Cons
We Lost our community hospital although, it would have went under. Everyday someone from the old administration is escorted out the door. Everyday the passionate, dedicated nurses and ancillary personnel are not rewarded for the their handwork instead they are in fear... its a culture of, "punitive measures." Nurses and ancillary are tossed out at an alarming rate. Staffing ratios are not safe and I realize that this is a problem across our country but, this is a hospital that is supposed to be, the best of the best. Registered nurses have six weeks to orient to a new unit even new graduates to critical care areas. I am sad to say that new is not always better. It would be nice to take good things from the old and in cooperate them into the new. Health care is just big business now. It is all about the profit not the patient or the employee. The CEO of this company was last reported to make over eight million a year while the nurses and ancillary help struggle to keep patients alive in unsafe situations with not top earning wages in the area. This is just but a few things that that are negative. I do not have time to share all of them. We lost our OB and BH departments. We really needed them. too much change too fast to expand the profit margin. Some services make money and some that are necessary will loose money. I certainly can not run a hospital but, I have witnessed the shift to, Big Business, Corporate America", and it stinks!
