Mr. Robinson (not personally) is what’s wrong with Provident Health (sic). Provident is extremely top heavy with very well paid administrators who basically do nothing at the expense of the health of the community. Good luck getting a colonoscopy in Humboldt County. If Mr. Robinson was truly concerned with “community health ” he would quit.

Agree, as Providence is heavily biased against elder employees, especially white males…

Providence has one of the most “Old School” management paradigms peculiar to Catholic Corporations…

They mostly hire travelers, and per diems, and pay pretty low considering the difficulty of finding decent housing locally…

This individual, with his MBA and his MHA, seems overqualified for what is basically a “Nursing Job”, but congratulations, anyway, and one question:

Who did you piss off to get sent to Eureka?

Good luck, and Dog bless!
