Computerworld - Lehigh Valley Health Network continues to invest in its IT department, despite the slow economy. In fact, in 2009 the Allentown, Pa.-based health services group added staff, upgraded applications and infrastructure, and adopted new technologies. Such investments have helped Lehigh Valley create a dynamic workplace for its IT staff.
"There's a lot going on that's top-of-the-line software and hardware, so you get to see the best-of-the-best technologies. It gives you a good feeling to know you're right on top," says Andrzej Pilacik, a senior database administrator.
Pilacik says he has been able to work on five or six major projects in his six-year tenure.
"They look for potential in people," says senior systems analyst Kyanti Kleinsmith, who started at Lehigh in 2003 as a medical secretary and worked on rolling out a new electronic medical records system as she moved into IT three years ago.
IT's Special Events Committee, which sponsors charitable and social activities, helps to create a sense of community and work/life balance.
