10 - werkgeversreview Neonatologist bij La Rabida Children's Hospital

La Rabida Children’s Hospital is a truly mission-driven organization where you can feel the impact of the work every single day. What stands out most is the leadership—there is an incredible level of energy, passion, and commitment coming from the top. The CEO, COO, and CNO lead by example and have created real momentum around culture, accountability, and quality of care. Their visibility, engagement, and genuine dedication to doing what’s right for patients and staff is both refreshing and motivating. This leadership team has also brought in strong, high-caliber leaders across departments who genuinely care—about their teams, about patients, and about continuous improvement. There is a clear focus on raising standards, improving processes, and building a culture of collaboration and respect. You can see and feel the positive changes happening, and it creates excitement about where the organization is headed. If you’re someone who wants to be part of meaningful change and work alongside people who are passionate and driven, this is a place where you can grow and make a real difference

As with any organization undergoing transformation, there are still pockets of resistance to change. Some long-tenured staff continue to rely on “the way things have always been done,” which can create inconsistency in processes and slow progress at times. Continued focus on accountability, education, and alignment with best practices will help ensure everyone is moving forward together.

Clinically, the flexibility is amazing. Getting to treat inpatient, outpatient, early intervention, etc. all within one job is unique to any other setting in the city. Therapists are given autonomy with their day to day schedules which helps decrease burn out. The cases are super interesting and every day is different.

While clinically very flexible, leadership is not very flexible about allowing for work life balance. It is impossible to change your hours and every therapist has to work Fridays. It can be challenging to stay because when a big life change happens, leadership isn’t always supportive.
