People Are a Priority at FHN The people of FHN know the specifics of our own jobs as well as the system's "big picture" objective: To focus on patients' well-being. Every employee who comes into contact with you from check-in to check-out, from your family doctor to the food service staff is committed to this promise. We are dedicated to making sure you are pleased with your care. This commitment has not gone unrecognized. FHN consistently ranks higher than the national average when it comes to patient satisfaction, and we continually set extremely demanding goals in this area. FHN also is dedicated to employee satisfaction, which helps us attract a talented and dedicated workforce and maintain a low employee turnover rate. For example, we participated in a national survey with 400 other companies on work/life initiatives conducted by Mercer and Bright Horizons. FHN ranked among the top 5 percent in this benchmark survey. Other recognition has included kudos from Working Woman magazine, which named FHN one of the best places in the nation for mothers to work, and the AARP, which in 2003 included FHN as one of only two Illinois companies to be included on their list of the 25 Best Employers for Workers Over 50. Clearly, whether patient or employee, people are a priority at FHN. We're a part of your community. And we want to keep it healthy, both economically and physically at work, at play, on the farm, at school and at home.
