Pros
Excellent clinical and support staff. Good but expensive benefits.
Cons
I have worked for IHC twice over the span of the last 20 years, for a total of about 12 years combined. When I left briefly to work for another company, I couldn't get back to IHC's stellar culture soon enough. My experience with IHC had been that they fostered growth in employees, good relationships between management and staff, and most importantly and freedom to allow practitioners to practice ethically, which with some health care companies, this idea gets drowned out as management pushes productivity and profits. While the IHC I came back to ~5 years ago was the same that I'd left, with the recent change of our CEO, the implementation of a very dated, poorly designed EMR and the complete destruction of the positive, honest culture IHC had espoused, this is NOT the company it used to be. This company has gone from such a high, to a terrifying low in regards to employee morale and sense of safety in their employment stability. While IHC touts leaning up the managerial structure, it seems now to be more top heavy than ever. The disconnect from the administration staff and the front line patient care providers has grown so deep, I feel there will be no bridging the chasm before IHC's reputation and future have been irreparably damaged. I cannot in good faith recommend this company to health care professionals, but I still recommend them for health care services provided by the company, as it is the frontline staff who still provide this, and love their work - despite a complete lack of support and common sense from above. Many have taken pay cuts (including me), with the comment that we need to save money, - all being said in the shadow of MORE brand new multi million dollar building projects. IHC may soon be left with a bunch of beautiful, empty buildings with no staff to run them.
