Pros

A terrific culture that is nurtured from the top. Our leaders understand the importance of enabling teammates to bring their best selves to work, every day, and this shines through in our hospitals. One element of our "magic". is in individual uniqueness, from each hospital being able to run their business as they see fit, to the support they receive, to determining medical protocols at the hospital level. Its a special place, times more than 300.

Cons

There are opportunities to have a couple of benefits more aligned with our markets; better PTO stands out.

SVP is part of our team

Pros

They have a trained team of people who can help you handle the different aspects of running a hospital. They are always just a phone call or email away when you have questions. They are not "helicopter parents" meaning they allow you to continue managing your hospital and team without interference unless you ask for it.

Cons

I have not found any yet.

Pros

Certain teams and individuals are collaborative and supportive

Cons

The CEO and COO now leading SVP are completely out of their depth. The MVP/SVP merger has been mishandled from the start, with talented people laid off simply because leadership failed to understand the business or the people behind it. The CEO leans heavily on his outdated “good ole boy” persona, which feels painfully tone-deaf for a company with hospitals in major markets like NYC and Chicago. He is neither a leader nor a visionary - he’s simply a veterinarian who found himself in a CEO chair. The COO has no experience running anything at this scale, and it shows. Direction, professionalism, and accountability are sorely lacking. Leadership decisions seem driven by favoritism toward SVP employees rather than qualifications or performance. People have been promoted into senior leadership roles despite lacking the experience or skills necessary to execute effectively. Given the resources available to support this merger, it’s baffling how poorly it has been handled. Morale is at an all-time low. The merger was expensive, poorly executed, and the culture has been unraveling ever since. If leadership sent out a genuine engagement survey, they’d see the extent of the damage.
