Pros

I’ve worked at another Atlanta hospital and quickly realized Shepherd is truly the best. Management values you and cares about you, the workload is reasonable, you have time for breaks, the people are amazing, and you really get a chance to know your patients. The patients are special. The culture is special. I can honestly say I love coming to work. Oh yeah, and benefits are great compared to other places.

Cons

Can be a very physical job at times (patient lifting, turning), but the teamwork makes it very doable.

Pros

If you are looking for a person-centered hospital (patient, family, staff) and a location in which teamwork is valued and front and center, Shepherd Center is the place for you!!

Cons

Shepherd Center is a smaller center so it's not like a large academic medical center

Pros

Shepherd prioritizes providing exceptional therapy services for their patients; therapists are provided with numerous opportunities for continuing education, mentorship, and co-treats within and between therapy disciplines. Therapy supervisors work closely with their staff, including scheduled rounding sessions in addition to quarterly goal setting meetings to promote continual growth and development. There is an optional professional enrichment program which encourages growth in clinical skills as well as the ability to work on department- or facility-wide programming and projects, with increasing continuing education money offered at each level. On-boarding and orientation was appropriately paced, and because of the extent of skilled therapists working at Shepherd I always feel like I have resources around me to reach out for help whenever it’s needed.

Cons

As a model care center, Shepherd admits some of the most medically complex patients; these patients, their families and complicated discharge plans can be very emotionally challenging to work with.
