KVC Health Systems reviews

Thanks for taking a moment to write a review of KVC. We appreciate that you called out some of the pros of being part of our team. KVC is working on several initiatives related to advancement opportunities and competitive pay. Many young professionals start with KVC right after college and we want them to stay with us for many years. Our new CEO, Chief Operations Officer (COO), and Chief Clinical Officer (CCO) all started with KVC in direct services roles about 20 years ago and have advanced up through the organization to their current roles. We want to do an even better job of communicating these type of advancement opportunities to current staff, so thank you for calling it to our attention!

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. You've raised a lot of important topics and since you are a current employee, we encourage you to help make KVC an even stronger organization by reaching out to your on-site Human Resources manager. He can help elevate any concerns you have so that local leaders are aware, and he can also help champion ideas that will make KVC a great place to work. As you know from firsthand experience, providing direct care to children and teenagers at a psychiatric hospital is challenging work. That is the nature of the job regardless of employer or location. At KVC, we take several steps to help employees succeed in the behavioral health technician (BHT) role including providing a substantial amount of training and putting in place safety measures (for example, ensuring that employees who are helping a client that may be prone to aggressive behavior is accompanied by other employees, rather than alone with the client). Safety for both clients and employees is our goal and we will continue to pursue that. It sounds like we could be doing a better job of educating prospective employees about what is involved in the BHT role. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We hope you will continue to voice your concerns and ideas so that we can create solutions.
