Old Southwest dismantled by Peaceheatlh (merged in 2011) - Director Level PeaceHealth Employee Review

Second rate, banana republic culture. The innovation and market attitudes of the old Southwest were ignored. PH is lulled into the experience and myopia of one-hospital markets. Healthcare reform is going to eat them alive. PH employees are known as caregivers rather than employees or staff members. One of the gifts from the mission based PH leadership when they merged with Southwest was to kill-off the old Southwest defined benefit pension plan for Southwest caregivers -- leaving many employees at mid career out in the cold.
