TriHealth Bridge

May 08, 2023

It’s that time of year again! Healthcare Heroes Week is our opportunity to celebrate our committed TriHealth team members, physicians, residents and fellows, nurses, and volunteers for everything you do, every day, in every interaction with our patients, their loved ones and your fellow team members.

TriHealth Healthcare Heroes Week, which takes place during National Hospital Week and Nurses Week, is a week-long celebration of ALL TriHealth team members no matter where you contribute – providing direct patient care, supporting behind-the-scenes, and everywhere in between. 

As the design our 2023 Healthcare Heroes t-shirts represents, healing truly begins with YOU! Our extraordinary team members, physicians and volunteers are the reason our patients feel how they want to feel: seen, heard and deeply cared for.

And it wouldn’t be a TriHealth celebration without giving our Executive Leadership Team and TriHealth leaders the opportunity to say “Thank You!” for all that you do. Click here to view the “Grateful Message to Our Healthcare Heroes” video.

In addition, we also want to share opportunities to reconnect to wellness. May is National Mental Health Awareness Month, and TriHealth LifeStyles has planned additional activities throughout the month. Click here to visit LifeStyles to learn more about the offerings available this month, and all year long.

We have planned a full week of celebrations – activities, random drawings, gifts and prizes – to recognize our very own TriHealth Healthcare Heroes. Click here to view or print the 2023 Healthcare Heroes Week Schedule. Be sure to check back throughout the week to see te names of our lucky contest winners updated on this article.

While you will receive many messages of thanks, grateful gestures and heartfelt accolades this week, please know that we appreciate you all year long!
