The Wisconsin Hospital Employee Pride Program 2003
The Wisconsin Hospital Association, along with the Wisconsin Society of Healthcare Human Resources Administration, the Wisconsin Organization of Nurse Executives, and the Wisconsin Healthcare Public Relations and Marketing Society, are sponsoring the Wisconsin Hospital Employee Pride Program 2003. This program is designed to celebrate the pride that hospital employees have in their work and recognize the contributions that they make to their patients, their community and to their profession. Last year, 57 hospital employees were honored at a reception and dinner in Wausau. This year we hope to double the number of hospitals that participate in this program. A reception and dinner will be held May 8 in Wisconsin Dells at the Kalahari Resort to honor one employee from each member hospital in Wisconsin.
A designated leader from administration, human resources, public relations or patient care from each hospital is asked to coordinate the program. Employees will be encouraged to submit to their hospital a one-page essay, poem, story or video that explains why they chose to work in health care. From those essays, a committee at the hospital will pick one employee to represent their hospital. That employee will be honored at the reception and dinner May 8 in the Dells.
A copy of the brochure, poster and participation guidelines are available below. In addition, these materials were emailed January 13 to the CEO, human resource, and public relations department in WHA member hospitals with further instructions.
Work in health care often holds deep and personal meaning, with sometimes personal and compelling reasons why people have chosen the field of health care. Last year, the essays and poems reflected the selflessness and dedication of those who work in health care. Several of the employees who were honored last year said by sharing these stories with their fellow employees and with the public, they realized just how important their work was to themselves and others.
