Pros

There have been very proficient providers and ancillary staff here who genuinely care about the healthcare they provide.

Cons

Cutbacks have taken out lots of good workers & resources. Non-competitive pay/benefits has neutralized incentives for talented professionals to come work here. Staff that remains who still try to do a good job are the most over-worked people I have ever seen in my life. Future of clinics/labs/offices is indeterminate with direction of management now overseen by Mercy Health Network which acquired Covenant in 2016 Very poor decisions in how electronic record system was upgraded - very expensive mistakes made!

Pros

Decent compensation for menial tasks.

Cons

Ridiculous management who are not qualified and incompetent in their IT roles probably because they are promoted as legacy from other non-IT departments/backgrounds. Good luck advancing with your IT education/expertise in this environment.
