In addition to the 13 Sisters who work at the hospital, Mary Health of the Sick employs more than 85 professional men and women. These employees work in various capacities and are intent on ensuring that the mission of the Sisters flourishes throughout the hospital. The average length of service for our employees is 8.4 years, which is extraordinary in this type of environment.
One of the biggest challenges facing skilled nursing hospitals is hiring well-trained healthcare workers. Mary Health of the Sick has been granted approval by the Department of Health Services to have its own Certified Nursing Assistants Training Program.
With onsite, hands-on clinical training for students, it's one of the few programs of this type available in Ventura County. This training program stresses the mission of quality nursing with compassion, love, and dignity.
