Each day people come to our hospitals to seek healing. We represent hope and health to those who live near us, and to people around the world.
We have faced some amazing challenges during the past year. The 2018 flu epidemic is just one example. We were tested daily as demand for our services reached record levels. National news media focused their attention on us, seeking answers to how we were addressing the crisis. Yet every day, I saw each of you renew your commitment to our patients and their families. And I was awed by your professionalism and skills, no matter what position you fill.
Loma Linda University Health works best when we work as a team. We are truly a community that provides treatment and comfort to the sick. We welcome new lives into the world. And each day, this amazing team provides hope or solace to people facing trying times. Miracles happen here every day.
National Hospital Week is May 6–12, and this year we celebrate our employees’ commitment to teamwork. During this special week, we offer our deep gratitude to each of you — physicians, nurses, therapists, engineers, food service workers, housekeepers, volunteers and so many more. Your commitment to teamwork strengthens every aspect of this healing place.
Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart for all you do. I know I speak for each member of our leadership team when I say that it’s a privilege and honor for us to be part of your team.
