      Pros

      The access patients have to care at HDVCH is wonderful. There are so any well educated physicians you are able to discuss patients with and I believe that the communication is a great advantage within the system.

      Cons

      Being a part of such a large organization, employees start to become emails, calls, or a staff number. There is such a disconnect between the employees of different departments, roles, etc which is a huge con is working is such a large organization .

      Advice to Management

      To strive to get to know your employees better. Not just their work personalities, but who they are even outside of work. Building a better community of workers holds the fate of Spectrum Health.
