Every day, I see and hear about team members going above and beyond to support each other and provide outstanding care. Since arriving at UVA Health, I’ve been inspired by the time, energy, and dedication you put into your work. That’s what drives me to prioritize efforts to give you the support you need.
We’ve celebrated big wins, like expanding the Malcolm Cole Child Care Center and the opening of UVA Health Employee Primary Care. In collaboration with the community, we’re also working to improve long-term infrastructure challenges, such as housing, childcare, parking, and more. Some solutions take more time than others, and I think it’s worthwhile to occasionally highlight the benefits that are already available.
Last year, I shared five team member benefits, and this year, I’m excited to highlight even more programs designed with your well-being in mind!
Financial and Everyday Savings
- Tax Time Resources: Free tax prep assistance is available through the Cville Tax Aid Coalition. You can also find answers to UVA tax-related questions through Workday and the UVA HR Solution Center.

Prioritizing Your Well-Being
- Hoos Well: This program is dedicated to improving your emotional, physical, and financial well-being. The added bonus of Hoos Well is that you can earn up to $500 in rewards by participating!
- UVA Health Team Member Gym: Our free, badge-accessible gym, adjacent to the Battle Building Main Lobby, is open Monday–Friday, 5 a.m. – 9 p.m. I love saying hi to team members when I’m there!
As we plan for the future, making UVA Health a best place to work remains a top priority. It’s a privilege to serve and support you. I encourage you to take full advantage of these resources and others available.
You give so much to our patients and community, and we want you to feel just as supported. Thank you for all you do to transform health and inspire hope for all Virginians and beyond.

Take care and be well,
