From the local Trauma Survivors Network (TSN)’s Annual 5K Race to my monthly Be Heard Breakfast, it's been a summer to remember!
It's been a busy time at the University Medical Center, and I want to use this week's blog to recognize each one of you, not just as incredible professionals, but as individuals with vibrant lives outside of work. Our team is made up of people who bring passion and dedication to their work and our patients every day. Now, I’d love to see the fun and joy you bring to your personal lives too!
Let’s celebrate moments of joy and relaxation from this summer that recharge our spirits. Whether it’s a family barbecue, a hike in the mountains, a beach day, or simply enjoying a good book, it’s important to take time for yourself and your loved ones. It’s just as important to celebrate our colleagues using the time off they earn! The freedom to periodically take a step away from our work is essential for our well-being and helps us return to work refreshed and energized to serve our patients well.
Send us snapshots of your adventures, your hobbies, or anything that brings a smile to your face during the summer by August 19 to officeoftheceoofthemedicalcenter@uvahealth.org. I'll feature some of the photos in an upcoming blog to celebrate the diverse and dynamic lives we lead outside of work. Don’t forget to include a brief description, including your name and title, to go with your photo.
Thank you for your continuous hard work and dedication. I look forward to seeing your summer moments and celebrating the incredible team that makes UVA Health so special.
I hope everyone is having a fantastic and fun-filled summer!
Take care and be well,
Wendy
