Duke LifePoint Healthcare reviews

LifePoint Health has been a publicly traded company since I started working here. Recently it was reported that the company will be changed to private. I have worked for a non profit hospital in the past and the culture is more positive and community based. This for profit company does care for patients and the community, however they have to care for shareholders as well, which has led to a very stressful, negative environment. Hopefully the move from public to private will improve things.

Management has cut staff in every department. Employees are very overworked and underpaid. Patients get poor, inconsistent care. Many M.D.’s are temporary hires for short periods. No increase in wages only increase is cost of insurance( hope you don’t need to use it) They had cut what little compensation we get for our 401 k’s by one percent. Employees feel devalued and overworked. Management cares only about profit not patients or employees
