Western Reserve Hospital

This year our organization collaborated with a local news station to participate in their Pledge of Allegiance program - many employees joined us in the courtyard to start our day with the Pledge of Allegiance, building a sense of patriotism and community among our staff members.

One of our community art displays is pictured. Our organization has partnered with local artists to provide rotating art displays in our patient care and lobby areas; this has supported a healing environment, community involvement and interesting content for employees.

Annually we host a holiday dinner for all of our employees, and many members of our community, including first responders. Employees receive a free holiday meal including prime rib, an array of sides and many desserts.

Our first annual gingerbread decorating contest was a huge success! Local officials served as judges and many employees submitted their masterpieces for enjoyment of our employees, patients and visitors.

On Valentine's Day our employees stopped by HR to complete hearts in support of the American Heart Association to create a display listing the reasons they love working for Western Reserve Hospital.

As part of our continued employee engagement initiative, we held a Gnome and Fairy decorating contest over the summer. Employees we provided with the gnome and created a fairy garden for display and judging. These events have brought our employees together as many collaborate on one display, as well as our community as many visit to see the amazing work on display.

Each year our service award and summer picnic is held to recognize all employees for their hard work, and specifically recognize our "Sweet Sixteen" - our 16 employees with the most seniority; as well as employees who are reaching a service milestone.
