UPMC Mercy info


Does anybody work for or know people that do?

I've heard not so great things about them esp since UPMC took them over. I'm trying to establish if the rumors are true.

(people that I've talked w/stated that they had friends that left there after working 20 + years for Mercy...I'm well aware to not fall into a rumor trap but I seriously haven't heard any good and wondering if there was any)

TIA

I work there. I love my job but not always how I have to do it. I think that's going to be the same no matter where you go nowadays. You can pm me your questions if you'd like.

This is not a direct reply to your question but your question did make me think about something. I had a bunch of friends that worked at Divine Providence on North Side that ended up working there(Mercy) AND several friends who worked at South Side Hospital that ended up working there. This happened in both cases as result of big absorbing little. I haven't talked to any of them in a long while, wonder how things are going for them.

We just had a new group of critical care physicians come to work at our facility. They all came from the Evil Empire, two from Mercy. All said they would leave the area before returning to the Dark Side...

that's funny. we've heard doctors say they are leaving but then find the grass ain't always greener. So nice to have you back, Dr!
