“It has been a sincere honor and privilege to work for Traditions Behavioral Health (TBH). In addition to being professional, courteous, and attentive, Gary Hayes and the TBH staff have been kind.  They care about employee satisfaction and frequently check in to ensure that the work experience has been a good one. Perhaps the most amazing part of TBH is the camaraderie and team-spirit infused in every work place, which demonstrates the values that TBH emphasizes: professionalism, physician and patient happiness, and a respect for work-life balance that often neglected in other work settings. I feel so blessed to be a part of this company and plan to stay involved for years to come.”

“As with any choice in life, there are positives and negatives to the Hospitalist 16 hour schedule.  The primary positive, of course, is freedom.  With this schedule, it is actually possible to schedule work around my life, rather than the other way around.  This is an entirely new experience for me.

The primary negative revolves around coming in for the first day after being gone for a week or more.  There is a lot to learn about new patients, and when there are patients still here they have changed completely.  At times, there will be hearings scheduled for patients that I have not met, requiring getting up to speed rapidly.  The first day of a block of being here can feel a bit overwhelming at times.  However, I find that by the second day I have settled in and can attend to the work of caring for patients.  Some days are busier than others, but even the busiest are quite manageable once I have established that initial contact with patients.  By the end of the stretch, the stress level usually feels quite comfortable.

For me, this system works.  I am able to devote attention completely to other parts of life on the days that I am not at work.  It allows a degree of separation between work and home that I would not have thought possible.  When I am working, I am able to immerse myself in that aspect, and feel that I am making a positive difference.  It is a very different means of achieving balance, but one that is working quite well for me.”

“TBH has been an amazing company to work for. There are so many personal touches that the staff make an extra effort to do. It is clear that we are important as individuals to the company, more than just numbers. The flexibility within the organization is also a valuable resource for its psychiatrists. I would unconditionally recommend working for or hiring TBH to staff a hospital.”
