Shared Governance

For more than two decades, Cottage Health has built on a foundation of empowering employees closest to the work to have a voice. Through Shared Governance, every employee in the organization can suggest ideas, improvements and new processes. We believe that our best and brightest ideas come from our most valuable resource—our employees.

Shared Governance is a system of accountability for Cottage health that establishes a positive staff and management partnership leading to a meaningful, respectful and creative work environment dedicated to meeting the healthcare needs of all we serve.

Celebrating 20 years of Shared Governance

Shared Governance means that Cottage Health attracts the very best people who want to be part of a team, who want to work collaboratively to do their best for the patients we serve.

Our employee engagement scores reflect the value of Shared Governance to Cottage Health. It provides the framework to make Cottage Health better for its employees, its patients and the community.
