How to share your news

Every day remarkable things are happening across Loma Linda University Health, and these stories should be shared. LLU Health administrators want all staff, students, and faculty to be as informed as possible for the enrichment of their careers and education, and to help them continue the teaching and healing ministry of Jesus Christ.

At the same time, administrators desire to keep the number of informational e-mails people receive to a minimum. To prevent e-mail overload, three vehicles have been created to share news and stories that people need to know.

On Campus shares stories relevant to the university community, focusing on academics, events, research, and campus life. Found at oncampus.llu.edu, this page is a significant source for being informed about what’s important at Loma Linda University.

The VIP homepage is your news source for stories related to clinical care. Articles address safety, training, policy updates, events, and other need-to-know employee information. The news is found at vip.mc.llumc.edu.

A third source for campus news is LLUSS Connect. This news page is run by Loma Linda University Shared Services, which is the corporate entity that provides support for all other entities of LLU Health. Departments such as risk management, payroll, landscape, public relations, and others fall under Shared Services.

LLUSS Connect features news relevant to services offered by these enterprise-wide shared departments. It is also a source of tips for better health and whole living, stories about living LLU Health’s values, and articles encouraging self-development. It is found myllu.llu.edu/llussconnect.

All articles for VIP, On Campus, and LLUSS Connect must be approved by the appropriate dean or vice president (or their administrative assistants), who will then forward the items to these publications. Inquiries about VIP news can be sent to mcwebmaster@llu.edu. The contact for On Campus is oncampus@llu.edu. Request more information about how to submit stories to LLUSS Connect by e-mailing ussconnect@llu.edu.

News of the Week is a weekly LLU Health e-mail that compiles news from these three websites. It is designed to be the single e-mail communication of stories that have system-wide relevance and/or significant news value. Direct submissions to News of the Week are not accepted; rather, stories should be submitted via the above process to On Campus, LLUSS Connect, and VIP.

Thank you for reading and staying informed about making Loma Linda University Health a place that “continues the teaching and healing ministry of Jesus Christ 'to make man whole.'”
