St. Lawrence Health

SLH Nursing

Caring, Learning, and Growing with SLH 

Being a nurse is more than a job.

Nurses with St. Lawrence Health have the opportunity to work in one of our three hospitals, in an off-site specialty office, or take on the responsibility to serve in multiple locations.

We are an organization that does more than create jobs, SLH offers the opportunity for a career you can grow in and be proud of what you do every single day. While we are located in rural Northern New York, we offer educational and professional opportunities found in larger urban areas.

Recognition                 

Our nurses pump the life-blood into our organization, and we make it a priority to recognize their efforts.

Nurses from CPH, GH, and MH are highlighted via our Employee Spotlight (below) forum on social media outlets.

The Daisy Award provides the opportunity for the public to weigh in on how special they think a particular nurse is, or how she/he was important to them. Learn how to nominate your favorite nurse(s).

Canton-Potsdam Hospital, Gouverneur Hospital, and Massena Hospital were recognized as Age-Friendly Health Systems by the Institute for Healthcare Improvement. Gouverneur Hospital has further been named among "The Best Hospitals in America" by The Leap Frog Group and Money.

 

The three hospitals are currently working toward gaining Magnet Recognition status.
