Hi Team!
Our One Campaign is off to a great start – thanks to you! In just over two weeks, we’ve raised nearly $300,000 – with only 20% participation so far! Just imagine what we we’ll achieve when we hit our goal of 100% participation!!
Through the efforts of our local on-site teams, we’ve created a high-spirited environment of camaraderie, laughter, and friendship that makes giving not only rewarding, but also a lot of fun!! From jeans passes, giant Jenga games, and lunch celebrations to dance parties, bake sales, and daily prizes, you and your leadership teams have gone above and beyond to make sure everyone enjoys the spirit of giving during this year’s One Campaign!
And speaking of fun and camaraderie, that’s exactly what we experienced on Sunday, September 15th when 33 TriHealth physicians and team members joined me on our Ride Cincinnati TriHealth cycling team – the fourth largest team to ride this year, and it was our first year to ride! We couldn’t have asked for a better day to ride – and together, we raised nearly $10,000 to benefit patients and families of the TriHealth Cancer Institute! Many thanks to all those who joined me on the race, and to all those who sponsored us through your generous donations!
Remember, all those who donate are entered into a system raffle where each week one winner receives a four pack of tickets to Broadway shows, Bengals games, and more! Check the Bridge for weekly winners. And at the end of the campaign, one lucky winner will be drawn to receive a luxury vacation package worth $5,000! So if you haven’t donated yet, do so soon for your chance to win!
Thank you, as always, for Living our Values and for coming together as One Great Team to improve the health and wellbeing of those most in need! Let’s finish strong and make this year’s One Campaign our best yet!
Flu Vaccinations Begin This Week
All TriHealth team members – clinical and nonclinical – are required to receive a flu vaccination by November 1, 2019. It’s free, it’s easy and it protects our patients. As health care providers, it is our responsibility to do all we can to reduce the chance of spreading this common virus to our patients. Visit Bridge for full details on flu vaccinations, including a schedule of locations and dates for clinics.
Town Halls Continue This Week
Town Halls (now through Oct. 15) offer a chance for all of us to connect with each other, share our successes and challenges, and begin the new fiscal year with renewed energy and purpose to deliver the best possible care to those we serve. You’ll learn about the FY20 system priorities and hear about local initiatives that will enable us to improve and accelerate our performance as we work to get healthcare right for those we serve. Visit Bridge to download Town Hall schedules and be sure to attend!

Weekly Huddle Message: Pay Attention to Detail
We’re all moving at a fast pace, trying to get as much done as we can. However, it’s important to slow down, think about the task at hand, complete the job and then double check to make sure everything went as it should. This idea is embodied in our Safety and Reliability tool, STAR (Stop, Think, Act, Review). By using a tool like STAR, we can save time in the long run by ensuring all tasks have been completed fully and accurately.
Great job everyone! Looks like you had a great time wish I could have attended.
