— Indeed employee review"A 2019 needs assessment found that the Seward Community Health Center lacks the capacity to adequately serve the number of patients seeking services, such as through the inefficient size and quality of exam rooms, patient conflation of the center with Providence and conflicts in scheduling spaces that the center shares with Providence."
