Pros
Great Place to work and do research and help peopleCons
No real cons I can think ofOur organization was established nearly 70 years ago to care for a vulnerable and disenfranchised group of people — patients with some of the most severe, complex conditions. Our founders aligned our mission with the Civil Rights Movement, embracing the tenets of equality and access for all. Then, in 2009, when we set out to reimagine our organization into the first-ever translational research hospital, we built Shirley Ryan AbilityLab on the same foundational tenets of acceptance — principles our employees continue to hold dear.
Our key insight, then and now: To advance human ability, we must embrace humanity with love, empathy and compassion. We must acknowledge our fundamental cultural, spiritual and individual differences, and the ways in which they shape and influence our delivery of quality care in the 21st century. We must build a team that is reflective of the patients we serve and our world.
Today, we care for patients from around the country and the globe, regardless of insurance, and provide direct financial assistance to patients in need each year through our Charity Care Program. We also recruit team members who represent diverse backgrounds and functional expertise. We have cultivated our organization with a special formula that is truly unique.
