A message from our VP of HR: Here’s what we’re working on in human resources

Our Ballad Health merger has taken place and we’re moving forward as one system – but the transition is far from complete. There’s still a lot of work going on behind the scenes to fully bring us together, including in human resources. We’ve got an HR integration team in place giving careful consideration to an array of things, from pay scales and benefit packages to PTO and service recognition. It’s a complicated process but the team is working hard on putting it all together for us, and as decisions are made, we’ll communicate them to our team members.

Former Wellmont team members don’t yet have in-network access to Mountain States providers and vice versa. Creating a comprehensive benefits and health insurance package is one of the biggest things we’re working on, and after July 1, 2018, we should have a plan that gives all benefit-eligible Ballad Health team members in-network coverage at all Ballad Health facilities. We’ll have more information for you as details are finalized. In the meantime, if you’ve got questions, please…
