I didn’t know what to expect when I left Houston, TX to go to a much smaller community (Holmes County). I very quickly came to appreciate the close-knit, family friendly environment of Holmes County. Additionally, the values of Holmes County are reflected in Pomerene Hospital. The common values of Holmes County and Pomerene Hospital bring intimacy to the community, hospital relationship and more importantly, the physician and patient relationship. In surgery, you have to cause a little harm to do a lot of good. So starting with a unique bond between the community, hospital, patients and physicians makes everything just a little more special.

The most impressive assets that Pomerene Hospital offers is the people who work there. Pomerene has the most caring, dedicated, hardworking staff you will find anywhere and they treat their patients like family. The community is very supportive and lastly, the patients are truly appreciative of our efforts.
I love having the opportunity to provide healthcare in the beautiful rural setting of Holmes County.

Holmes County is a rural region in Ohio, yet close enough to major cities such as Canton, Akron, Cleveland and Columbus. Patients are very appreciative of what you do for them, which leads to a very satisfactory patient-doctor relation. Crime is low, if any, landscape is beautiful, and nearby big cities offer everything to enjoy your free time. Hospital is very supportive of its providers and staff, financially sound, and progressive in keeping up with latest technology. I believe Pomerene Hospital is more than just being a small rural hospital: I can perform pretty much all types of surgery I would perform in larger hospitals, including laparoscopic and hysteroscopic surgery. I extended my employment agreement at Pomerene because of my experience and the atmosphere here

The reason I chose to work for Pomerene and serve Holmes County was totally a Calling from God - it's true. I’ve always felt a pull to practice rural medicine near where I grew up in Orrville, Ohio and when I interviewed at Pomerene, I knew this is where I would end up. Pomerene values their community and respects the beliefs of their patients to better serve them, which is what medicine should be about. I feel that Pomerene employees care about each other AND their patients just like family, which is hard to come by. That aspect will help us overcome many obstacles!

When I was looking for my first job after residency, what attracted me to Pomerene Hospital is the unique opportunity it presented. To be able to work in the picturesque Holmes county with a perfect rural setting where there is ample scope for building a great physician- patient relationship seemed like the perfect opportunity for me. Needles to say my experience at Pomerene exceeded my expectations. Everyone around welcomed me with open hands and made me feel at home.
The Joel Pomerene Hospital Company was established in 1919 as a not-for-profit corporation with the goal of building a hospital in Holmes County. County taxpayers later passed a 1.5-mil levy to supplement the money donated by the Pomerene family and build the Joel Pomerene Memorial Hospital, which opened its doors on June 1, 1937, as a county hospital. The original facility started with a six-bed women's ward, a three-bed men's ward, six private rooms, a three-bed OB ward, and a nursery with five cribs. There were ten physicians on staff.
Today, we have more than 325 employees, 150 volunteers and a medical staff of 80 with more than thirty active providers. After several major renovations and expansion projects, the hospital has three floors and more than thirty departments. Pomerene is one of the largest employers in Holmes County and serves the greater Holmes County area with some patients residing in contiguous counties.
At Pomerene Hospital, we pride ourselves in our friendly, dedicated and caring staff. We are looking for candidates who exemplify the “I Am Pomerene” values. We want our employees to show “I Am Pomerene” by living out our mission, vision, and values in every task, every encounter, everyday:
I bring great value by demonstrating knowledge, competence, and compassion; add meaning, importance, value, and deliver my best for every customer and every co-worker in every encounter
I demonstrate personal and team responsibility and trustworthiness by accepting responsibility for my work and my work relationships
I show thanks, appreciation, and gratitude to every customer and co-worker in every encounter
I work and communicate in a present, engaged, and attentive manner, always watchful and alert for the needs and feelings of others
I own the reputation of Pomerene Hospital as a positive ambassador on the job and in the community by working, communicating, and serving customers and co-workers with pride, distinction, delight and respect
