Question: my hospital was recently bought from a group thats called CHS, if you are from a triad facility you will know which one, everything changed for the worst and that in only a couple of month, they fired a lot of people good and bad and stuck one of there own CEO's in here
does anyone has experience with CHS?, what to they generally stand for , are they good or bad,
i heard a lot of unions follow CHS because they are known to make things worse
anything on that?

Our hospital was owned by CHS for maybe 2 yrs, they didn't last very long if you know what I mean, the hospital is in worse shape than ever now. And the benefits, (WHAT BENEFITS) !

My PRN facility was just bought out by CHS and while the benefit aspect doesn't affect me, I know full time employees are furious with anger right now over the lack of beneifts. They also froze all PTO/ESB back in Dec and call offs for low census are at an all time high right now (and you can't use your PTO because it's frozen) because they pinching the strings big time.
They are shafting all the staff all the way around and it's so crazy there right now.
We no longer have an education department either, guess they don't value continuing ed much. Classes that used to be required for the ER are no longer required.....scary!!!!!
It has this facility in much uproar and total mass confusion and state of shock.
I don't think Triad was the greatest thing to plauge this facility but CHS seems to be far worse in my opinion.
And I only work there PRN, I feel sorry for those that work there full/part time.
7 nurses have quit our ER in the last month over the crazy insane changes.

I worked for a CHS facility for over a year and I can tell you it was one of the worst hospitals ever! The staffing was horrible, the standards were pitiable, the ethics were deplorable. It had one of the worst reputations in the area. Even though the hospital had close to 150 beds it never stayed at more than 50-60 for the entire census. Patients avoided it if they could. The physicians that they allowed to work there were downright scary. The training for the staff (what training?) was laughable.
I do not like CHS.
thanks for answering me
