Pros
RIC is just an amazing place. We serve people who have been tragically injured in accidents or who are dealing with serious diseases and coming to grips with life-altering impairments that they never imagined would be their fate. I’m proud to work at the hospital that is number one in the country at helping these patients get better – in many cases beyond what they had imagined would be possible. Our docs, nurses and therapists are incredible and have been recognized in every way possible for the quality of the work they do. We also have researchers right in the hospital who invent devices and therapies that can help our patients quickly – so as a hospital we are always getting better, improving our practices and delivering better outcomes. We are a year away from moving into a new research hospital that will allow us to deliver a new model of integrating researchers, scientists, doctors and therapists. They will all work side by side, surrounding the patient and be totally focused on outcomes
Cons
Our current building is small and lackluster. We’re bursting at the seams. Somehow everyone works around its limitations but I can’t wait to move into the new hospital!
