Swedish Medical Center Employer Reviews

I worked within the HealthOne company for 9+ years and specifically at Swedish Medical in Englewood, CO for 6 years. I never felt so much relief and stress off my shoulders after walking away from the position I had. I was paid a fair amount, but I was salaried and when reviewing the number of hours, holidays and weekends I was having to put it....there – more... is no way the pay match correctly. Management was always after the bottom dollar and really didn't care about the employee's that actually did the work.
Run the other way if you are every offered a job. It is not worth giving up your personal life to make them money. – less

I worked at Swedish Medical Center for 35 years. My experience there was amazing & fun. Alot of my co workers have also been there 20+ years. There was always something new to learn especially with the insurance payors rules & regulations changing every year.

The hardest part for me was Swedish was downsizing & my position was elminated.

The most – more... enjoyable part was working with all my co workers which became family – less

Management torments anyone who does not tow their line. The culture comes from the top and the CEO is out to get anyone who does not agree with her.
No ability to manage work life balance because as a manager/director you are expected to work over 10 hours a week at the hospital and work more at home in the evening.
Management never asked me about my – more... family, barely knew I had a family.
Co-workers/directors were for most part good but everyone was just looking to stay out of trouble. Directors talked on a weekly basis wondering if they would be let go that week.
Very detrimental culture to work in. – less

I enjoyed being the first one there, getting charts ready, checking phone messages. Working there has taught me, death does not discriminate. During my time there we went through several different managers, so in the end we didn't have one for the unit. My co-workers were a team of 5 RN's, that loved their job. I would say that the hardest part of that – more... job was watching patients and their family members suffer. Most enjoyable was when an patient got good news of being in remission. – less

Demanding and stressful environment, not for the faint of heart. We saved a lot of people and helped a ton more. Great management in the Emergency Department, good support from those above.

Hard on your body, but very enjoyable, great interaction with patients.

I too noticed the problems with slander, cronyism, and deceit, mostly by an inadequate Office Manager who discriminated against me for over seven years, was less than objective and highly dishonest. It not only happened to myself but it happened to a few of my coworkers alike. My experience was a tough road and I am so displeased with how the last few – more... years has ended for me. I am finding more and more about how this has happened to others. People who had started believing that they were supporting something that was real and important to their lives. Believing in the patient service and commitment we were told existed here at Swedish Heart & Vascular. Only to be bullied, manipulated and treated as if we were inferior to others who worked harder on pleasing management, than working with and whom we should all be committed to, our patients. I hope that this is realized soon. That a change happens for the best. That the focus there will switch to what is always should be about, the people who need our services. I can only hope and pray that this happens soon. – less

Great patient care and environment to work in. ICU Director great to work for and in touch with employees

Duties performed were inventory stock control, coordinating specialty card products monthly, balancing daily cash register sales, and assisting customers in choosing products.

Swedish hospital is a great place to "get your feet wet. This place is a great place to learn your skill or trade and then move on. I say this because loyalty to long term. employees is non exsistant. The compensation here is very poor for long term employees. I do enjoy my job. I work as a nurse coordinator and I greatly enjoy working with the nursing – more... staff and get great fullfillment when I can go home knowing that the hospital is staffed and all is well, thanks to the staffing office. – less

Wonderful place to grow as a professional nurse. My knowledge and opinions never mattered to management. Wonderful place to learn these new management techniques.

I worked with Hospita Housekeeping Systems.On site Swedish Medical Center .Cleaning a patients rooms ,sanitzing a restrooms.I learned a respect to patients,and visitors.Managment was good for me,and treated me a right way.My co-workers were a nice ,and helpfull.But a pay was very low for this a kind job,and benefits were a horrible .That a was reason – more... ,that I put my resignations on 12/07/2012. – less

Work within EEG/neurodiagnostic department for a year lots of backstabbing and management didn't seem to care and was overseen by Sleep dept that didn't value neurodiagnostics or act truthfully. Understaffed and only interested in quantity not quality of work. Poor assembly-line mentality. If you are a tech considering...I'd advise you look elsewhere.

There really never is a typical day we just take things hour by hour.
I have learned what disgnosis goes to what floor in the hospital.
The hardest part of the job is when there is no beds in the whole hospital.
The most enjoyable part of the job is my co-workers we have fun.

hardest part of the job was reading a chinese doctors progress notes. Learned a lot about upcoding and downcoding. management was very friendly. coworkers were very nice. most enjoyable part of the job was the flexibility.

A fun, interesting place to work. At that time the cardiology dept was excellent.

I have gained alot of hands on experience while being an extern at Swedish Medical. I have enjoyed working in a fast pace, never a dull moment while at Swedish. I thrive on working in a team environment where everyone works together to help each other and creating patient repore.

They are very family orientated and they believe in everyone.

Checking patients in/out, insurance verification, referrals, collecting money, phones, appointments, data entry,
Hardest part of the job for me was not challenging enough
Most enjoyable patients

Typical day is once you learned job you go in daily & immediately take charge in your position, and every day is learning experience as you meet so many different people with different needs/emotions, some co-workers for whatever reason MAY try & make job harder, this is where team work and RESPECT for each other comes in to play , without good back – more... up & team work it makes job quite difficult...the most enjoyable part of any work day is leaving with alot of pride in your position and a job well done. – less
