Opening at 6 in the morning can seem daunting and could easily be dreaded. However, the experiences and opportunity at the facility are anything but. Originally beginning my time at the local hospital as an intern for college credit, I later accepted the position of Exercise Physiologist with great enthusiasm. My experiences have been nothing short – more... of rewarding, both educationally and personal relationships. The small staff of experienced, trained and exceptional individuals cater to each patients needs from those undergoing cardiac rehabilitation, those suffering from pulmonary limitations, diabetics, obese/weight management and those just attempting to better their overall general fitness through exercise. A typical day at the Rehab and Wellness Center begins early. Most often patients arrive before staff and wait eagerly by the door in anticipation to begin thier work outs. Patients, with ages ranging from 20-98, take part in one of morning classes of toning, balance or ball classes, each targeted to improve individuals activities of daily living. As an Exercise Physiologist duties include; catering exercise regimens to patient needs, personal one-on-one training, instructing small fitness classes, monitoring patients vitals pre/post and throughout exercise sessions, manage medical records, and monitoring/identifying patients EKGs through 4-lead telemetry. My experiences at the hospital have taught me the values, tasks and hard work required to run a successful and enjoyable cardiopulmonary rehabilitation center. Working with talented staff and under a demanding yet wonderful management (flexible, patient, caring for both patients and staff), have been truly great. The most difficult yet most rewarding aspect of the job would have to be to get patients to begin regimens and/or diet changes. As new patients enroll in the program, many have multiple limitations, limited experiences with physical activity and/or are taking numerous medications. To motivate patients to begin a program, to continue and be consistent with the workouts/diet changes, and/or make some alterations in their daily lives can be tough. As some patients may not be 100% into changing their ways or diet, its important and my job to help them recognize the importance and benefits of making even the smallest changes. As they make these changes, and begin to see success, their enthusiasm most often changes and no longer looked as an impossible task. Seeing someone not only change physically, and see improvements in their general health, but also see the emotional and mental improvements encourages me to continue my job. Its difficult to encourage someone who has no interest in working out, changing dietary habits or smoking habits to continue, however once improvements are recognized and I see attitudes change, I truly enjoy my experience at the facility. The opportunities presented at the South County Hospital Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation and Wellness facility has been rewarding, enjoyable and an experience of clinical patient care like no other. – less

Management treats you with respect, fair wages, great nursing staff! Pleasure to work for!

Love working there. Great coworkers. Pay scale is the same as it was in the 1980's. Horrible pay, horrible benefits. Management is way out of touch with the great people who care and make the operations of hospital happen. Extreme amount of waste. Money is literally thrown right in the dumpster. Millions worth I have personally witnessed. Instead of – more... issues being handled correctly, product is just tossed into dumpster. It really is unbelievable. SCH is a three ring circus. That I care not to be part of. Hopefully things will change for them. It really is a nice hospital. With great employees. But the way the employees are treated and the disgusting wages they are payed, it is a disaster waiting to happen. Alot of incompetence in management! – less
