Board of Directors are not supportive. Should be an advocate for the hospital not a continuous roadblock. They should guide the budget not interfere with daily operations.
MCHD is a small, close-knitted facility. Laboratory department is very organized and I've observed that fellow colleagues are welcoming and it doesn't take long for people to feel at home in the work environment. Busyness varies depending on the days, clinic, and ER. ER patients often comment how diligent and timely our services are compared to bigger hospitals.
Cons
Nothing related to the hospital or the job but you do have to consider housing 30 minutes away in Midland. The drive is not the most scenic but it's a straight, easy highway.
