To improve the health and well-being of the people and communities we serve.
Pros
I feel really safe working here and I know my leadership truly cares about me and wants me to succeed. SH goes above and beyond to protect their staff from harmful words and actions from patients, visitors and teammates- I feel like they do the things that my former employers only talked about. There is a lot of opportunity for advancement and internal transfers to other areas/departments. The educational assistance is a really great benefit and I like the employee discounts for on-campus meals, pharmacy items and the Monday market. The health insurance is far better than what I had with my previous employer and free parking in the garage adjacent to the main building is nice, especially in bad weather.Cons
SH is a very large organization and it can be challenging to navigate but I feel like they do a good job letting you know where you can find the right resources.What is IDEAL at Salem Health?
At Salem Health, we believe in Respect for People.
We believe an organization demonstrating respect for people exhibits inclusion, diversity, equity, and a learning culture.
We believe inclusion is involvement and empowerment, where the inherent worth and dignity of all people is recognized. An inclusive environment promotes a sense of belonging by valuing and respecting the talents, beliefs, and backgrounds of every individual.
We believe diversity is a variety of human differences: person, culture, and life experience. A diverse environment honors the unique qualities of each individual and the perspective they bring to the healthcare team.
We believe equity is just and fair, giving each person what they need to reach their full potential and optimal health. An equitable environment empowers each individual to participate, succeed, and thrive.
We believe a learning culture is where people listen, learn, continuously improve and grow. A learning culture environment nurtures meaningful dialogue, self-reflection, and positive change.
