Empowering Our Colleagues
Goshen nurses are skilled, dedicated professionals committed to patients, families, the community, and each other. Guided by our nursing professional practice model and relationship-based care, we foster interprofessional collaboration and trusting relationships that promote health and wellness.
Our nurses live our core values of compassion, accountability, respect, and excellence every day as they pursue their personal and professional mission. Through our unique TUL (The Uncommon Leader) processes and nursing professional governance structure, nurses are empowered to lead change and advance practice.
Unit Practice Councils (UPCs), key components of professional governance, enable clinical nurses to drive data-based initiatives that improve patient safety, quality outcomes, and the work environment. Core governance councils collaborate to enhance quality, safety, and care coordination across the continuum.
At Goshen Health, every Colleague is a leader. Our unique culture encourages innovation and continuous improvement. Your ideas matter—and we are listening.
If you’re feeling the pull of professional growth, personal satisfaction and financial rewards, then maybe you’re ready to join the Goshen Health team.
