It is the personal connections, the caring gestures and the genuine smiles that make our hospital a place where patients feel valued and cared for. Our growing team comprises nearly a thousand employees, but we still foster a culture of a tight-knit family. It is these amazing individuals who contribute to the positive culture and who have earned us Modern Healthcare magazine’s “Best Place to Work” for six consecutive years and The Seguin Gazette newspaper’s “Best of the Best” designation for the past decade. When walking down the halls of the hospital, you do not have to venture far to find an employee who has dedicated 10, 20 or even 40 years of their career here. This level of loyalty is a testament to the strong bonds and supportive culture we have fostered. In 1996, GRMC nurses formed the Nurse Council that still to this day plays a vital role in enhancing the patient experience. The 22-member council is built on Celebrating our team THE HEARTBEAT OF OUR HOSPITAL open communication and collaboration, which allows our nurses to advocate for patient-centered care and fosters a culture of continual improvement. Outside our hospital walls, the council organizes fundraising events like the annual food drive, which has collected over 800 pounds of food for the Christian Cupboard. Multiple basket raffles and scrub sales raise funds to help our nurses excel in accredited nursing programs. This year, the Nurse Council awarded $6,000 in nursing scholarships for this purpose. GRMC nurses lead the way in promoting a culture of continual learning and professional development.
