Health Milestones Employee Wellness Challenge-INFO

I have Know Your Numbers cards available for those that wish to have a place to write down their actual numbers or health info for the challenge since it is not required to enter this private info on the log sheet that you turn in.

I will have these available in the dining room, in the Wellness office at the end of the HR hallway, and the Mora clinic break room.  I will send some over to the satellite clinics as well.

Keep A Child Warm Coin Drive-Community Service Event

The Community Service Committee is starting a new community service event called “Keep A Child Warm.”  This is a COIN DRIVE where we will be collecting coins to purchase cold weather items for kids in need in Pine and Kanabec Counties.  Large cans are now available to place in your area/department.  Friendly competition between departments is encouraged! Cans will be collected the week of November 9th by a member of the community service committee.  Our goal is to raise $500 to purchase enough items for both counties.

Empty out those pockets or purses and lighten your load knowing you will be providing cold weather items for kids. Your small change can make a BIG difference!  THANK YOU!

If your area or department would like a can, please contact Deb Wright at *3586 or at dwright@welia.org.  I will send a can over to each satellite site as well!

Privacy and Security Reminder!

Speak up to protect patient privacy.

Each person in the workforce serves as the eyes and ears to protect privacy and security. If you see patient records exposed, notice password sharing, hear conversations that should be kept confidential, notice someone in a chart they shouldn’t be in, see someone in an area that looks suspicious, not wearing a FirstLight name badge or you simply have never seen before or observe other lapses in privacy and security protections, speak to the individual or someone in charge about the issue. After all, you’ll be protecting a patient’s privacy—and one day, it could be your own privacy at stake.
