We want to recognize and celebrate you and your team with a week of Spring Spirit, April 7-11. Throughout the spirit week you are invited to participate in themed activities and challenges! Join your teammates, co-workers and other staff from across the health system to celebrate the end of winter with activities that are intended to promote teamwork, creativity and fun!
Get creative and share your spirit with us! Each day will offer themed events, decoration challenges and team-building activities. Whether you work in a direct care area or are participating remotely, we encourage you to take the opportunity to share a light moment with the colleagues and co-workers who are so important to each of us. Send in photos (or video!) of you dressed up, your decorated department, or participating in one of our many activities.
Note: submissions may be featured digitally on Shared Health channels unless otherwise specified.
