Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Events
Throughout the year, our DEI team and ERGs host events to celebrate and educate about various cultures and experiences. Check your email and the Infoweb to stay up to date.

Peer-to-peer awards
Formally recognize a coworker for exceptional actions, particularly in difficult or challenging circumstances. Examples include extra effort in supporting a patient or employee, covering an additional or special entire shift, going out of their way to provide extra services, working significantly beyond scope of work to support a patient, family, or fellow employee, determining an innovative method of work.

Employee recognition events 
Annually, we show our employees gratitude in a number of ways: the Employee and Volunteer Appreciation BBQ, Employee Recognition Dinner for those celebrating a milestone year of service, the holiday meal in December, distribution of free turkeys in November, are a few examples.

Stay tuned to your email and the Infoweb for details about these events!
