Overall Reviews at Sentara Healthcare
5.0
Strong community connection and great long-term career opportunities
As a mid-level leader, I've always felt encouraged, supported, and challenged to focus on leadership and staff goals that support our mission. I've been fortunate to have had amazing leaders and mentors throughout my career at Sentara. I've essentially been given the autonomy to create my own path and enjoy working at Sentara every day.
In order for Sentara to grow beyond its current capabilities, a cultural change towards agility to execute on projects will be necessary with a focus on centralizing governance and prioritization to reduce duplicative efforts, costs, and truly take advantage of their scale.
ProsExcellent benefits (Medical, Dental, 403b, WorkPerks)
ConsNo vertical career advancement. Always brought in externally

Sentara Healthcare is a good place to receive experience.
No pension for new employees. 403B is still available. They have also decreased coverage for medical and increased premiums. Despite having merged with 2 additional health insurance companies.

Hard Job
A typical day consisted of transporting patients to the hospital, taking vitals, maintaining life support. I enjoyed talking with the patients because they all had different experiences that they shared with me. I learned how to control my emotions in an emergency. The hardest part of the job was when a patient was hurt and you worried extremely about the well fare of that particular patient. My co workers were very well informed on how to handle situations, so i felt at ease working with them.

Happy Work Environment
Management was transparent for the most part, just a lot of politics going on every day.
Co-workers always in an upbeat and positive mood, benefits are excellent. The staff in the entire facility made going to work worth while.

Productive, excellent work environment
Fast paced work environment, very rewarding helping ER patients and there family members receive the medical attention they need.. One on one patient patient contact,rewarding clerical/ CSR work load.
