“BSC is the best place I’ve ever worked because of the people with whom I work,” says Ms. Parsons. “We truly do have an all-star team. The physicians have a very collegial relationship with all of us. They are easy to get along with, and they truly care about our business, our staff and our patients.”
The center opened in March 2005. It has three operating rooms and a procedure room used for pain management. BSC specializes in orthopedics, podiatry and pain management, and will likely see more than 2000 orthopedic/podiatry patients and 800 pain management patients in 2008.
The center is a partnership between the physician owners and Boulder Community Hospital. BSC currently has 15 partners and a medical staff of 55 independent licensed practitioners
Staff members work hard during the day to ensure that the center continues to receive excellent patient satisfaction surveys and maintain its commitment to care, as demonstrated by its Joint Commission accreditation.
“Our management team holds ourselves and our staff to an above-average standard,” says Ms. Parsons. “People know what the requirements are and strive to achieve them. We are goal-oriented, and it’s just part of the norm to do our best every day. The staff maintains a wonderful balance of being competent, professional and fun.”
The owners reward staff members for their work and dedication to patient satisfaction and quality care.
“The staff receives bonuses every quarter based on meeting mutually agreed goals,” says Ms. Parsons. “BSC is a very positive and upbeat place to be, and we have an annual holiday party with the physicians and a summer party just for the staff.
“It’s the innate commitment we all hold to provide excellent patient care and have fun doing it that makes this the best job I’ve ever had,” she says.
