KVC Health Systems reviews

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on working at KVC. It’s true that the nature of child welfare work can be challenging as we are working with families in crisis. And in crisis, behavior can be difficult and cooperation lacking. Such frustrations are to be expected. Adequate training should also be expected and KVC recognizes that, while on the whole our employees are very well trained, there are specific areas of this large organization where improvements can be made. To that end, HR is working on a strategic plan to increase consistency and quality in training practices across all departments so that every KVC employee feels fully prepared for the important work that we do.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review of your experience. Since you indicated you are a current employee, please know that you are empowered to speak up about any problems you observe and become an active part of the solution. Our programs are accredited by The Joint Commission, considered the gold standard in healthcare, and KVC is trusted on a daily basis to help thousands of children and families in crisis. Maintaining this standard means we need every staff member helping to ensure effective, quality services. While this website provides a channel for anonymous feedback, it is most effective if you speak with your supervisor or the HR manager. They are very interested in speaking to you to learn more. For several months, we’ve focused on providing increased levels of support to our employees; increased administrative presence during evening, night and weekend hours; and increased the number of Milieu Managers. We’re focused on training, engaging and retaining our staff who demonstrate compassion, innovation and skill in doing their job. While working overnight hours in a hospital is difficult and often uneventful, safety is our number one priority. We have had the privilege of employing hundreds of behavioral health technicians and other direct care staff over the years. The most successful ones take ownership of their role, are committed to learning and excellence, and leverage their position to make a meaningful difference in people’s lives. It may encourage you to know that one of these former BHTs moved on to 20+ years of other leadership roles and is now our CEO, Jason Hooper. Thank you for taking the time to share and we hope you will join us in elevating our quality of care.
