Went to get badge at 8am at the Colby Campus but didn't have required form. Just arrived at Pacific campus and have filled out the form and now need a signature from Teresa. There is a 'team meeting' at 9am.
Team meeting went well today. Began with 'reflection'. This week Cheri shared a story about the original leader of girl scouts, her hardships and how she came about creating Girl Scouts of America. Very inspirational, put selfless acts into perspective and what we need to focus on. In two weeks it will be my turn for reflection. They are required to start every meeting.
At the meeting we discussed screen saver pilots. Research has been done to see if Providence employees like or dislike set screen savers showing up on their computers. There were technical issues for some, and for those that experienced technical issues they said that the screen savers were invasive. But for the most part, people enjoyed the screen savers and generally remembered the message portrayed on the screen. However, the problem with the screen saver idea is that the screens will need to be updated every two weeks. What information will be up there? I suggested writings from the little book outside the chapel. Pictures will also be included, as well as other comments, quotes, pictures, etc from around the hospital and community.
After I went back to Colby and got my badge, Rebecca gave me a story. The hospital is busy promoting health and wellness for its employees and so Rebecca showed me an email between the fitness specialist here at Providence and nurse he helped. I will be contacting both parties and hopefully interviewing them for an article for the source. I will also include tips from other Providence employees that posted on Dave's blog about health tips.
Lastly, I met with Cheri about creating a community benefit bank. She needs good, positive inspirational stories that shares with Providence where all of our non-profit work is going. Personal as well as programs. I need to interview Tim Serband, Director of Mission and Spiritual Care to get some leads on where to go. I will also be writing a story on the Press Release for the Dawson Place about their new move. That needs to be turned in next week as well as the story for Rebecca.
I am leaving today with e-mailing Tim Serband. I need to explain what I hope to achieve and see if he has any time to meet with me next week or send me any documents.
Tomorrow I will be spending my day in Mill Creek. For the rest of summer I will be spending Mon./Tues. in Mill Creek with Susan and wed./thurs. here in Everett.
Start time: 8:00am-4:00pm
