Pros

Passion, Compassion and mission work. Banner Health is a non-profit hospital and medical system that is strong in delivering on the mission of ..."delivering on excellent patient care. The values of People first, Excellence and Results work together to support the noble effort. This is a relatively young organization, only about 8 years old and grown from a merger of Lutheran System and the Samaritan System. The largest presence is in the Valley of the Sun and specifically the metro Phoenix area. Being able to work for an organization that really does put people first is refreshing. While there is still room for improvement in every organization, Banner is definitely on the right track.

Cons

It's difficult being a non-profit since raising capital to support the many initiatives and endeavors is a little difficult. In these tough economic, political, and social times, being a non-profit hospital system is a double edge sword. You want to help, but it sometimes effects what projects can get done. Senior management has done a great job of positioning Banner to make it through the various cycles, but no one predicted this one would be so deep and a such a problem. With all the hype about healthcare in the upcoming election, it has put the brakes on many of the initiatives in all non-profit hospital systems, not just Banner.

Like many large healthcare organizations, decision-making can sometimes take longer due to the number of stakeholders involved. Cross-functional projects often require coordination across multiple departments, which can impact timelines but also helps ensure compliance and thoughtful implementation.
