Business outlook
Pros
Great facility, newly built ambulatory center with state-of-the art equipment. Adjacent to hospital, with easy access to physicians and support staff/ancillary services.
Cons
Presence Saint Joseph Hospital-Chicago has gone through many changes in administration over the last 20 years, i.e. mergers/acquisitions (and has recently been acquired by AMITA Health). Significant changes in administration/leadership. Non-clinical leadership has been “cleaning house,” laying off and terminating higher paid nursing and therapy staff in order to hire new graduates at lower pay. More interested in the bottom line (quantity vs. quality) than patient care. Therapy services have become rote, aka assembly-line.
