Ascension Health: Positively Impacting Healthcare for the next 100 years

Vice president

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Lives up to their core values. 100,000 reasons---people who collaborate on caring out its mission to serve patients, community as a ministry. Management, clinical staff and executives top notch and leaders in the industry.

Cons

Its a large national organization and the structures needed to manage 100 hospitals and facilities across the US. With $11 Billion in revenues it would be a "Fortune 500" company if it was a NYSE or for profit firm perhaps #5 in healthcare companies, that brings slower decision making and some expected red tape. Needs to continue building diversity into its long term plans for senior management team local, regionally and nationally.
