Pros
The people are outstanding. Not only are they committed to a unique mission, but the new CEO has been a true catalyst. Where many were once worried about the direction, now there is one. Clinical leadership has been encouraged by this new direction, but the most important effect is with the general staff. No one is "too low on the totem poll" to have their voice heard. If we are to be an institution that represents the interests of every member in our community, we need to represent the voice of every member of our institution. I have never felt as at home with an employer in my life.
Cons
The competition locally has national recognition as being the standard in the industry, though I feel as though we could tell the MetroHealth story more. I know our quality and service are at least as good as the best if not better. The difference is the focus on health equity, which can mean less budget for advertisement and marketing of that success.
