The organization has historically maintained high employee retention up until 2020 (COVID). Unfortunately, the impact of the pandemic appears to have taken it's toll as long standing colleagues chose to retire/move in mass resulting in exacerbation of an already limited workforce deficit. This has given rise to recurrent levels of under staffing across clinical service lines, and a large absence of leadership experience/support where recent graduates left than 3 years of experience being elevated to high level management role without adequate mentorship. The organization recently bought out/merged with Saint Luke's Health System (Kansas City) resulting in even more de-personalization, redeployment, and behind the scenes layoffs. With the combination of changes the proverbial sole of the organization seems to be vanishing. I fear it will only be a matter of time before it becomes a faceless organization where we are only treated as expendable numbers.
