Vantaggi
Benefits match the industry, fairly strong financial position. I still think the system has great potential, but will be unrealized unless changes are made.
Svantaggi
Prior to the partnership the culture was built on a true desire to provide excellent care - both from a quality and patient satisfaction perspective. This was done through making sure to hire and retain great people (and moving others on who didn't fit the vision). One of our partners did this better than we did, but we did not learn from them (PVHS). That has significantly changed and we have become just another health system. Probably still OK to get care, but not a place to advance careers in a way that capitalizes on the potential of our industry. Recent leadership hires have not gone well, and are seen as a joke within the system.
