More about Southwoods Health

The surgery center opened in 1996; in 2026 the organization is marking thirty years under CEO Ed Muransky’s patient-centered framing. If weekday structure matters to you, several RN roles advertise Monday–Friday days with no weekends, holidays, or call. Endoscopy has run 6:30am–3:00pm with scheduled lates; interventional pain management has posted part-time days; clinical education has sat at 32 hours with weekends off. There is also a clinical coordinator path over rheumatology, infusion, ortho, spine, and PM&R offices, plus per-diem field work at Southwoods Health at Home. Charting runs on Meditech. The surgical side has invested in ExcelsiusGPS robotic spine navigation. What nurses write publicly is mixed. Reviewers often credit the schedule, vacation accrual, scrub allowance, and a family-focused feel. They also score pay and management low. That tradeoff is the clearest picture the facts give you before you apply.

Patient-centered care is the language leadership uses around the system’s 30-year mark; public recognitions emphasize cleanliness and inpatient experience.
