My thanks to all of you who attended and participated in the employee meetings. It is always good to have a chance to provide you an update on big picture issues that face our hospital, and be able to answer your individual questions. This time I asked Directors to solicit questions ahead of time and it was very helpful to be able to have those and answer them. Some of you also sent me questions from a request I made in the wrap up - those were also appreciated.
The best part of these meetings is the chance to be with all of you and have that face to face time. I was tremendously excited to share with all of you our new vision and mission adopted by our Board of Directors. This new focus is reaffirming that in these difficult times, uncertain times; we are still positioned with our eyes on the future and trying to make the best choices for our children and their families. Often these choices are comparable to Hobson choices - no matter what you do, there will be pain but you have to try and limit the people impacted and make sure we are doing what is necessary to be able to provide the core services to our children.
As I have listened to President Elect Obama speak over the last few weeks, he continues to talk about their being pain in order to get to a place of stability. We hope that his pain will not impact our children, but given the magnitude of the crisis in front of us as a country, it is hard to imagine that we all won’t be asked to do more with less.
Senior Leadership and the Director's will continue to work together to make sure that we have the focus on both our children and our finances. Your feedback, ideas and thoughts are always appreciated.
We have my entire presentation available on our intranet – take a look to see what our new mission, values are and where we stand on meeting our annual goals.
Thank you for your continued support for our children.
