I work for a smaller dialysis company that is made up of higher ups that used to work for the companies you described. I am one year into it and feel we are better off with this company than being hospital owned. They have around 70 clinics nationwide and are owned partially by the doctors/company/hospital still has a small piece. I developed the education program used to train my new hires from various sources. I believe retention of staff is linked mostly to being educated as to expectations and duties and then holding all staff accountable to the standards taught. Yes, the patient comes first but I do believe in educating the patients to the fullest extent and keeping them involved in their care. Good luck with the buy out. Transition is sometimes difficult.
