Pros
My work at Palomar Health started many years ago. Being part of the leadership of an organization that has gone through change after change after change can be difficult on our colleagues and staff.

Palomar is a wonderful place to be when thinking about the care we provide and challenging when thinking about the business outlook especially with the lack of strong executive and financial leadership.
Advice to Management
Focus on stopping the short sighted expense reductions and develop a long term plan that brings revenue growth and high quality patient care.

Pros
Facility is beautiful and still looks new. Not much else to say that’s positive.
Cons
No support from management for staff. The environment and culture towards staff is very punitive, and you are treated as if you’re lucky to work there, not as a valued professional. I didn’t realize how toxic the place is until I was employed at a facility that values its people again.
Advice to Management
Management should try listening to advice for a change. But they won’t, because they’re elitists that think that they’re so much smarter than the lowly staff employees.
