OUR CLIENT
Human First. At the heart of everything our client does is a fervent belief that before patients are patients, they are people. They don’t just see MRI #137, a label on a test tube, or a case of the flu. They see a mother who’s planning her child’s graduation party, a teacher with a classroom full of kids waiting for her return, and a grandpa who never misses his granddaughter’s piano recitals. What our client does every day makes a difference in people’s lives; that’s why they are passionate about caring for patients like they are family, finding new cures, using the finest and the latest technologies, and teaching and inspiring caregivers of tomorrow. Our client puts people at the center of everything they do, because they believe in medicine that puts people first.
As one of the nation’s preeminent academic medical centers, our client is committed to excellence in clinical care, biomedical research and education, and to the health and wellness of their patients and communities. A major teaching hospital for an Ivy League medical school, U.S. News & World Report ranks our client each year as a “Best Hospital” in multiple specialties. They are a fully integrated medical center providing adult care with over 6,000 diverse employees, including approximately 819 full-time staff physicians, 1,179 full-time registered nurses, and 3,600 non-clinical employees. Their focus on safe and quality patient care has helped establish them as a national leader in health care quality, safety, and transparency.
Our client is home to a renowned academic research program where scientific discoveries are helping to transform medical care; they rank third in the country for National Institutes of Health funding among independent hospitals. With revolutionary advances and therapies happening within their walls, our client is a national leader in “bench to bedside” research. They are also training the next generation of physicians. Our client has raised medical education to a higher level with a uniquely strong and deep program that enhances their ability to attract top faculty and residents.
