Lynn Community Health Center

Lynn Community Health Center is proud to make it their mission to offer quality healthcare services to diverse, underserved populations in the surrounding areas, but they are not willing to diversify their workforce.  With a workforce of predominantly Caucasian and Latinos it was difficult to work for an employer where the employees were not receptive to anyone outside of their own culture.  It was great to work for them so long as I was an intern (excellent feedback from employees and clients) but when an employment opportunity became available the certain employees especially in Human Resource rebelled and false information was circulated about me.  It was a great internship experience that exposed me to abundant working knowledge of administering psychotherapy services to different cultures and ethnicities.  I learned the most from the clients.  I expanded my clientele to include children after working with just adults for eight years.  As a result I am CANS certified.

I loved working at LCHC, issue was management. my direct manager was very passive aggressive and immature. Disrespectful to doctors, nurses, MA's, no matter age/experience nothing. Spoke down on everyone and had trouble communicating properly with her staff. hardly ever spoke up for her team. Changes were made on a weekly basis without any regard to us 

I did love my coworkers though. everyone got along great, very team and homey oriented which I miss very much!

I learned a lot here about cultures, fast-paced clinic. 
Hardest part of work was when an emergency happened and no one knew what to do. it sucked!
most enjoyable, my coworkers, parties, holiday events, making patients happy, helping out patients and feeling like you make a difference in their lives.

completing task daily is very typical but slowing down the process to let the end user show what their needs are is more important. 
management has a open door policy from the director of the company to the middle management, my co workers are very cultural 32 different cultures lot of diversity here good place to learn peoples culture and personalities. hardest part of any managers job is to disaplend   your staff learning to talk with them and listen on what they want before any issue gets out of hand works well. most enjoyable part is the completion of projects and the employees thankful for the work you have done is great feeling to myself that we completed a task on time and under budget.

I loved the patients and my job and my colleagues, but did not like the staff working under me because they did. not support their clinicians.   The CEO is great (K.M)- great listener, hears you, acknowledges your concerns and is  hard working-decent person who really cares about his employees.  The place is unionized for everyone but the Management Team and MDs . I felt the union always created issues with people's work performance.  It produced a culture of not going above and beyond if it was not in their job description.  Overall all good place to work depending on what an individual values in a company.  The population that they serve is lucky to have this health center.  

A typical day at work consists of going through your patient's chart and identifying patient needs. Stocking rooms with supplies. Rooming patients and providing necessary equipment/instruments. Preforming vital signs and point of care. Interpreting, documenting, and appointment scheduling.  What I have learned in this job is to handle my task in a timely manner, while providing quality care to patients. My co-workers are a diverse group of people, who are fun to work with. The hardest part of my job would be not being able to meet a patients need. The most enjoyable part of my job is when a patient feels we have met their needs.

Loved my time there. I started during covid when they were paying hazard pay. Once they did away with that, the pay was rather low compared to the hospital, but standard among primary care / outpatient centers. I got good training and met good people. Working on urgent care per diem was flexible and close to home. The commute was unbeatable. You do have to park in a garage a block away during the week. My advice is to know or learn Spanish. More than half of the demographic is Spanish speaking and it makes the job so much easier. 

A typical day for me was answering phones, booking appointments, marketing our program, coordinating activities for us to do involving sex education.

I had learnt how to be a great peer educator and counselor. I also learned strong public speaking skills.

There were only two other co-workers and they worked great with me coming up with different ideas for them.

The hardest part of my job was getting enough peers to show up. We had a lot at first but most people my age were not interested.

The most enjoyable part of my job was giving back to my community.

Paid well below market, as this is a non profit. But every thing else is amazing. They give you opportunities to grow, learn, and advance in your career.
I don't know how receptive upper management is to change, but they are receptive to conversations with low level employees, and my direct management is phenomenal. 
They will invest in your education and help you attain licenses and certifications. Health insurance is decent, was better but costs increased in January.   Good coverage for the price though. Lots of PTO, even for people within 1st year.

Very busy working environment to deliver and help patients advocate for their  healthcare. 
I learned much about public health, politics and health care and further dimensions of disparities
Co-workers not dedicated to team approach
Hardest part of job was dealing with senior management
The most enjoyable was the camaraderie of some of the best nurse practitioners in the field, some doctors too

Its a very busy and diverse community center who tries to help anyone in need. Very fast pace and never a dull moment. I work in the OBGYN department so we see OB and GYN patients only. I do float to other departments when in need. Which is a good fro a little change in environment. We have Pedi, OBGYN, PCP, Urgent Care, and Dental in this health center. I enjoy my job and the diversity. The only hardest part is the language barrier with patients but they have a language line that we can call and translate.
