Happy New Year!!

I hope this message finds you refreshed after enjoying a fun and festive holiday with family, friends and/or colleagues.

I would like to once again thank those of you who served our patients and families this last week.  On Christmas Day, I had the privilege of spending the morning with several of you who were working that day.  What a fun time!  Thank you for spreading kindness, compassion and holiday cheer to those who spent their holiday in the hospital.

This next week we will be celebrating the New Year as we usher in the exciting beginnings of 2018.  I look forward to the coming months as we work together to build a healthy work environment with an atmosphere of collaboration, cooperation, and teamwork; foster a culture of inquiry, education, and professionalism; and elevate our patient experience to an all-time high.
