Pros

Women and children receive exceptional care within this organization

Cons

Ignore and downplay safety and security concerns, and ostracize those who escalate the concerns on behalf of the patients and staff. Heaven forbid when the madness backs you into a corner and you have to backout for a mental health check, no one cares when you return and dont even ask about accommodations let about asking " why" and/or causation.
