At Renown Health, we live by a core set of values. We are caring and compassionate. We demonstrate respect and integrity. We build relationships and collaborate with patients, families, clinicians and communities. We strive for excellence in all we do.
Those values extend beyond patient care to the way we support our employees. We have worked hard to create an environment that empowers each person to learn, grow and thrive.
Here are just a few examples of the ways we do that:
Establishing a mentorship and leadership development program that provides insight, expertise and learning opportunities.
Forming employee committees that improve health and well-being both at work and in our community that complement Renown’s work-life balance programs.
Recognizing and rewarding team members for living our values.
Providing paid time each quarter to support employee volunteerism and giving back to our community.
Offering a variety of education programs, including tuition reimbursement, student loan repayment and a professional advancement bonus program, to help employees achieve their higher education goals.
Hosting the largest Graduate Nurse Residency program in the state, which is also one of the largest in the nation.
We strive to inspire, educate and help nurses shine, and in return, we know they will make a positive impact on the lives of their coworkers and the people we serve.
Nursing at Renown Health
Nurses at Renown Health demonstrate a commitment to patients and their families through integration of care, clinical expertise, education, evidence-based practice and the pursuit of quality patient outcomes.
When patients are facing a serious infection, the path forward is not always simple. Treatment can require close monitoring, specialized expertise and a care team that knows how to navigate complex medical conditions with both precision and compassion. At Renown Health, the Infectious Disease department provides that level of support every day.
Our Infectious Disease team members (or “ID team” for short) help patients manage challenging diagnoses while working alongside providers across Renown to coordinate the best possible care. Their work may happen largely behind the scenes, but the impact is deeply felt by patients, families and care teams throughout our health system.
Career Excellence: Alejandro’s Path Shaped by Purpose, Family and Community
Alejandro’s career didn’t begin in healthcare. Originally from Elko, Nev., he moved to Reno on a scholarship to study geology but quickly realized it wasn't the right path.
Care doesn’t always end at discharge. For many patients, the most important progress begins after they return home. That’s exactly where Renown Health’s Home Health department plays a vital role.
Serving communities across northern Nevada, from up north in Red Rock and Spanish Springs to down south in Carson City, our Home Health professionals are on the frontlines of ensuring patients transition safely from hospital to home. The team provides a wide variety of expert health services, all coordinated to reduce readmissions, improve care outcomes and help patients regain a level of independence.
