Wednesday, June 8, will be a day for employees to be encouraged, motivated and inspired. It is Oasis — the annual day of renewal for all employees.
Oasis provides a refreshing escape from the dry desert of stress and busy-ness. The theme for Oasis 2016 is “Finding Fresh Perspective.”
“How do we find meaning in the midst of this fast-paced and worry-filled existence?” asks Kathy McMillan, MA, director of employee spiritual care, Loma Linda University Medical Center.
This day of renewal will help answer that question. “We will discover what it means to set our hearts on God and to find strength and relief from the storms of life,” McMillan says.
Presenting meaningful thoughts as the day’s keynote speakers will be Barbara Hernandez, PhD, director of physician vitality, Loma Linda University; Jenny Tillay, MDiv, adjunct instructor in the School of Religion; and Michael Rhynus, MDiv, chaplain, LLU Medical Center.
The day will open with a morning devotional given by Lyndon Edwards, MBA, MHS, senior vice president for Loma Linda University Medical Center adult hospital services, as well as Behavioral Medicine Center and Highland Springs Medical Plaza.
Oasis will take place at The Castaway in the rolling hills of San Bernardino, nestled above the valley, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
