New mental health benefits and two leaders Top Women in Wellness and HR by Ragan Communications Concern about clinician well-being has been top of mind for years, but the pandemic has exacerbated stress and trauma and presented a unique opportunity to reframe core approaches to fostering a thriving workforce. Ahora más que nunca, se requiere apoyo compasivo y holístico para los médicos para garantizar que se sientan seguros, valorados y comprometidos”, así comienza la introducción a la Búsqueda de Talentos en Atención médica de 2022 de la American Hospital Association. In line with this new report, Renown Health President and CEO Tony Slonim, MD, D.Ph., and a newly appointed member of the American Hospital Association Board of Directors, has announced a number of additional benefits to address some of the physical and psychological impacts of chronic clinician workforce stressors and to promote rest-and-recuperation strategies, essential for sustaining high-performing clinical teams. In an enterprise-wide communication, Dr. Slonim wrote to Renown Health employees, “I often say good health is a positive connection of a person’s body, mind and spirit. To honor you this holiday season, we have added to your comprehensive benefits package to help you achieve well-being, realize greater financial security, advance your education, enjoy enhanced life balance, and when needed, face illnesses and setbacks with the greatest possible peace of mind.” Además de ofrecerles un regalo en efectivo de $100 para las fiestas a todos los empleados de primera línea (hasta el nivel gerencial), los líderes de Renown están trabajando para eliminar el estigma y las barreras al uso de servicios de salud mental cuando se necesitan. Para ello, hacen énfasis en que buscar ayuda demuestra fortaleza, no debilidad. “By listening, recognizing and honoring our team member’s emotional health, we are looking to help each other process these experiences, grow from them and emerge more resilient and available to our patients and families,” said Michelle Sanchez Bickley, MS, SPHR, SHRM-SCP, Chief Human Resources Officer. “This could include taking a day off to refresh and recharge or taking advantage of confidential, mental health counseling visits at no charge. We have updated our policy to include mental and emotional well-being as eligible for use of sick leave.” Sanchez-Bickley is the newest inductee to the HR Hall of Fame this week by Ragan Communications, for leading the charge for health care organizations across the United States in employee health, performance management, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, training and development, and for implementing innovative employee benefits. She is the only health care HR leader named to the Hall of Fame this year. Also named to the national leadership list is Ann Beck, MBA, Chief Financial Officer, who, Ragan Communications noted, “despite being in the middle of a COVID pandemic and economic and financial down turn, was able to drive performance to secure Renown’s workforce and long-term financing to serve this generation and the next.” In addition, hospital staff will be offered free chair massages, courtesy of a local donor organization, MOBE. “Without a doubt, it’s the little things like this, free chair massages, food trucks at lunch time, a hot cup of coffee near the end of your shift, and a sincere “thank you” from a patient or family, that makes all the difference to us as nurses,” said Jana Elliott, DNP, RN, Associate Chief Nursing Officer Acute Services. También se alienta a los médicos y empleados a tomarse tiempo libre, y seguirán teniendo 10 feriados remunerados más vacaciones, reconocimiento y recompensas para empleados a través del programa Everyday Amazing, inscripción en un plan de seguro de vida gratuito y se les ofrecerá tiempo remunerado para voluntariado y seguro de salud, planificación para la jubilación 401k y reembolso de educación y matrícula. Dr. Slonim ended his communication by saying, “This year, as we readjust, realign and restore our way to a new world, I have never been prouder to ‘Be Renown.’ Thank you for standing by us, offering your time and expertise, and helping us emerge stronger people, and a stronger organization through a very challenging time. Please enjoy this holiday season with family and friends, and know you are appreciated.” Renown Health is currently hiring key roles to support the health and well-being of our community.

Rainbow lights illuminate Renown’s iconic “LOVE” sculpture, and powerful employee stories shared during Pride Month. Reno, Nev. (16 de junio de 2020) – Para celebrar el Mes del Orgullo y las comunidades LGBTQ+ de Reno, la escultura “LOVE” de Renown, una obra de arte de una tonelada de aluminio soldado con letras de 10 pies de alto y 8 pies de ancho, se iluminará con luces LED de los colores del arcoíris durante el mes de junio. La escultura “LOVE” se encuentra en la entrada principal del Renown Regional Medical Center, en Mill Street en 1155 Mill Street in Reno, Nevada, y es visible para los vehículos y peatones a lo largo de los corredores de Mill Street y Ryland Street. Dr. Tony Slonim, president and CEO of Renown says, “At Renown, we are proud to support our LGBTQ+ communities. During Pride Month and beyond, we are honored to offer an inclusive, safe environment for our staff and patients—one that celebrates diversity in all its forms. La escultura “LOVE” ya ha traído una luz resplandeciente a nuestro mundo, y estoy deseando ver la alegría que traerá a todos los que la vean con los colores del arcoíris”. Para conmemorar el Mes del Orgullo, Renown se ha comprometido a destacar a algunas de las personas LGBTQ+ que son parte de sus 7,000 empleados. Sean Savoy, director de Atención Espiritual de Renown, comparte cómo sus experiencias como hombre gay afectan positivamente a su carrera en sanación espiritual y a la compasión que muestra a los demás. “La base de la atención espiritual es la compasión: acompañar a las personas necesitadas al prestarles atención, darles apoyo y demostrarles empatía, y promover un sentido de bienestar”, afirmó Savoy. Ser miembro de la comunidad LGBTQ+ aporta ese profundo sentido de compasión y empatía de una manera muy especial y única. He descubierto que la convergencia de mi yo gay y mi yo espiritual ha sido una bendición en mi vida”. La escultura “LOVE”, creada por la artista Laura Kimpton y fabricada por Jeff Schomberg, apareció por primera vez en Burning Man, en 2019. Gracias a una asociación con la organización sin fines de lucro Artown, la escultura se inauguró en Renown en abril de 2020 y, desde entonces, ha servido como símbolo de esperanza y determinación para el personal del hospital, los pacientes y los miembros de la comunidad durante la pandemia de COVID-19. Generosos donantes y la Renown Health Foundation financiaron la instalación de la escultura.   ###   About Renown Health  Renown Health is a locally governed and locally owned, not-for-profit integrated healthcare network serving northern Nevada, Lake Tahoe and northeast California.

Funds used to support those addressing demographic diversity and Social Determinants of Health to improve the health of our community. Renown Health, en consonancia con su misión, visión y valores y con su compromiso de larga data de abordar los determinantes sociales de la salud, ha anunciado hoy que pondrá a disposición hasta $20,000 durante el año fiscal 2020 para financiar proyectos y organizaciones cuyo objetivo sea aumentar la presencia y la participación de las mujeres, las minorías raciales y étnicas, las personas LBGTQ+, las personas con discapacidad, las personas de bajo nivel socioeconómico y otros grupos poco representados. Renown Health strongly prefers proposals that convincingly demonstrate their potential to improve the health and wellness of northern Nevadans. The organization wishes to express its interest in supporting programs that enhance collaboration, health literacy and communication, and enhance cultural competency. “Improving the health of our community is the foundation of our work. Our mission, vision and values are the essence of what makes us Renown. We are committed to fostering an environment of diversity, inclusion and cultural competence where all are appreciated, fully engaged and motivated to make a genuine, positive difference in the health and well-being of the people and communities we serve,” said Tony Slonim, MD, DrPH, Renown’s President & CEO. As the Kaiser Family Foundation noted in recent research: “Los investigadores descubrieron que los factores sociales, como la educación, la segregación racial, los apoyos sociales y la pobreza, representaban más de un tercio del total de muertes en los Estados Unidos en un año”. https://www.ajmc.com/contributor/sophia- bernazzani/2016/05/the-importance-of-considering-the-social-determinants-of-health# Annie Zucker, gerente de Impacto Comunitario de Renown, añade: “Los determinantes sociales de la salud tienen una gran repercusión en los resultados de salud, especialmente para las poblaciones más vulnerables. I am proud that Renown, as a not-for-profit healthcare organization, considers social determinants of health to enable more compassionate and comprehensive healthcare for the patients and families we serve.” According to the CDC, it has been well-established that poverty inhibits access to healthy foods and safe neighborhoods, and that higher levels of education influence better health. El impacto de estos factores en la salud se define en Healthy People 2020 como determinantes sociales de la salud: “Social determinants of health are conditions in the environments in which people are born, live, learn, work, play, worship, and age that affect a wide range of health, functioning, and quality-of-life outcomes and risks.” When resources are available to overcome negative social determinants of health, they can have a significant impact on improving population health outcomes. “Through diversity, inclusiveness and cultural competence we are able to better understand and respond to the health needs of our communities. We are committed to continually cultivating an environment of cultural inclusiveness. When you have a culture that acknowledges and engages everyone, the opportunities for personal growth and organizational effectiveness are limitless,” said Hector Boirie, MBA, Chief Strategy Officer. “Renown Health provides access to care with dignity and respect for all. We recognize and respect every human being, regardless of race, creed, gender, age, handicap, national origin or ability to pay. We give competent, considerate and respectful care in a safe setting that fosters a person’s comfort and dignity and is free from all forms of abuse and harassment, including gender identity or gender expression,” says Melinda Mendoza, BSN, JD, CPC, CHC, CHPC, Chief Compliance Officer. “This is a Renown Health patient right and we are proud of our organizational commitment.” Renown Health is also an Equal Opportunity employer. All qualified applicants receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital status, national origin, ancestry, age, genetic information, disability, or protected veteran status. “I am so pleased to serve as Renown’s Chief Financial Officer. En los EE. UU., menos del 13 % de los puestos de director financiero están ocupados por mujeres. How proud I am to help lead an organization that focuses on attracting talent based on individual competency and kindness, rather than gender, race, religion or sexual orientation,” says Ann Beck. Renown Health prefiere enfáticamente que las propuestas sumen un total aproximado de $2,500 o menos, ya que prevé financiar a 8 organizaciones. Renown Health ha puesto a disposición esta financiación adicional para el año fiscal 2020. Normalmente, financia proyectos solo durante 6 meses, y recibe las solicitudes de renovación de la financiación en los años posteriores. Se invita a todas las organizaciones 501c3 sin fines de lucro con oficinas que sirvan a los residentes del norte de Nevada a que presenten sus propuestas antes del jueves, 25 de junio de 2020. Renown Health revisará las propuestas y tomará decisiones de financiación antes del lunes, 29 de junio de 2020. Renown Health desembolsará los fondos de las subvenciones antes del martes, 30 de junio de 2020. As non-profit hospitals, Renown must meet community benefit requirements to qualify for tax- exempt status, this includes funding programs that respond to public health needs and improve overall community health.

La Unidad de Cirugía General de Renown estrena un par de alas de ángel elaboradas por el personal y sus familias para conmemorar la Semana del Personal de Enfermería y del Hospital, del 4 al 10 de mayo. Una obra de arte especial en la Unidad de Cirugía General de Renown Health aporta color y alegría a todos los que pasan por allí. The unit’s new angel wings backdrop is made up of individually-decorated feathers – created by Renown nurses, certified nursing assistants, unit clerks, supervisors, staff’s family members and anyone else who wanted to contribute their creativity. Este adorno angelical se creó para celebrar la Semana del Personal de Enfermería y del Hospital en Renown, que se celebra del 4 al 10 de mayo, y arroja luz sobre algunas de las cosas por las que nuestro personal de enfermería está más agradecido. “This art project was a month in the making,” said nurse manager of Renown’s general surgical unit, Deanna Olson. “A true collaborative effort, our staff, and even some of their children, would use their breaks and downtime to cut out and decorate feathers. Some focused on using bright, vibrant colors, while others wrote about what they are grateful for and the things that make them happy.” Doodles of pets, names of family members and inspirational quotes are just a few of the things featured on the feathers. Los nombres de los 110 empleados que trabajan en la unidad también se pueden encontrar en las alas de ángel. The idea behind the backdrop theme was inspired by nurse Melissa Vierra, who spent her last night as part of the general surgical unit working with a few team members to build the angel wings. Vierra now serves as a nursing administrative manager for Renown. “It takes an angel to be selfless enough to devote oneself to the care of others,” said Vierra. All our angels are as unique as the feathers in the wings, but together, we are united as a team to provide the best care possible for our patients. I am extremely grateful for my nursing family and all the lives they touch, including mine, every day.” A few Renown nurses joined Vierra in expressing their gratitude:   “I am grateful that I have a job and for everything I have in my life.” – Elizabeth Rios, CNA “I am grateful for my family.” – Jena Smith, RN “I am grateful for my health.” – Mary Gutierrez, UC “I am grateful that I am not sick.” – Barby Workman, CNA “I am grateful for my life.” – Sierra Genz, RN “I am grateful for my health.” – Alyssa Daly, RN “I am grateful to be working.” – Skye Sauls, RN “I am grateful for my pets and my family.” – Colette Chapman, RN “I am grateful for the Bob Ross-esque landscapes.” – Tahni Murphy, RN “I am grateful for my family, my health and having a job that I love.” – Deanna Olson, RN During times of uncertainty, it’s these things, coupled with our amazing patients and teammates that keep us going,” added Olson. “I’m lucky to have the angel wings right outside my office. Seeing our angels from all departments take photos in front of the wings and hearing the love and happiness in their voices gives me hope to look towards the future – our community is in amazing hands.” ###   About Renown Health Renown Health is a locally governed and locally owned, not-for-profit integrated healthcare network serving northern Nevada, Lake Tahoe and northeast California.

Area Church Pastors, the City of Reno, the City of Sparks, the Washoe County School District, REMSA and Renown will be available to discuss the impact of COVID-19 on communities of color, and how they have joined together to provide free COVID-19 testing to area residents. DE QUÉ SE TRATA Los medios de comunicación están invitados a entrevistar a los líderes de la comunidad para saber cómo nos unimos para hacer frente a las disparidades en la salud y promover la igualdad en el acceso y la prestación de la atención médica. El primer proyecto para apoyar a nuestra comunidad y abordar la equidad en materia de salud es asociarnos con los pastores del área para proporcionar pruebas gratuitas de COVID-19 mediante hisopado nasal para los adultos y niños de organizaciones religiosas, las iglesias y los niños que asisten a la escuela. El primer centro de pruebas, que ofrecerá pruebas sin salir del automóvil y sin cita (por orden de llegada), se realizará el sábado, 26 de septiembre, de 1 p. m. a 4 p.m., en el Ministerio Fuente de Vida del pastor Cesar Minera. Las pruebas se ofrecerán a los miembros del Ministerio Palabra de Vida (Word of Life Ministries) y de la Asociación de Ministros Evangelicos (A.M.E.N.), una red de más de 15 iglesias en el área de Reno, Sparks y Carson City, así como a estudiantes y familias del distrito escolar del condado de Washoe (WCSD) que viven en esa área. REMSA staff will conduct the nasal swab testing and Renown Health will process the tests. No es necesario tener síntomas de COVID-19 para realizar la prueba. CUÁNDO Jueves, 24 de septiembre a las 1:45 p.m. DÓNDE Ministerio Palabra de Vida 2375 S Virginia St, Reno, NV 89502 OPORTUNIDADES VISUALES Y DE ENTREVISTA Pastor Cesar Minera Un miembro de la congregación de la iglesia Representantes de la ciudad de Reno (vicealcalde Reese), la ciudad de Sparks, WCSD, REMSA y Renown Health POR QUÉ Según la American Hospital Association, la pandemia de COVID-19 está afectando de forma desproporcionada a nuestras comunidades negras, indígenas y de color. Black and Latino Americans are three times more likely than white people to contract COVID-19. Los Centros para el Control y la Prevención de Enfermedades informan que la tasa de hospitalización por COVID-19 de las personas latinas y de raza negra también se enfrenta a tasas de hospitalización sombrías similares, entre 4.7 y 4.6 veces más altas, respectivamente, en comparación con las personas blancas. Las personas de raza negra mueren a una tasa casi dos veces mayor (24 %) que su porcentaje de población (13 %), y, en 42 estados, incluido Nevada, los latinos representan una proporción mayor de casos confirmados que su porcentaje de población, según el proyecto de seguimiento de datos de COVID de The Atlantic. En apoyo a la proclamación del gobernador Sisolak de que el racismo es una crisis de salud pública, una asociación de organizaciones religiosas, iglesias y pastores, junto con líderes comunitarios, reconocen que es fundamental cambiar la cultura de la medicina al abordar el racismo y los prejuicios implícitos que contribuyen a las disparidades en materia de salud. El grupo de líderes de la comunidad del norte de Nevada incluye a la alcaldesa de Reno, Hillary Schieve; el concejal de Sparks Kristopher Dahir, capellán de Northern Nevada Veterans Home y presidente de la Junta Directiva de Excel Christian School; Angela D. Taylor, Ph.D. de la Junta Directiva del Distrito Escolar del Condado de Washoe, ministra ordenada y pastora adjunta en Greater Light Christian Center; el pastor sénior Cesar Minera, del Ministerio Palabra de Vida (Word of Life Ministries) y presidente de A.M.E.N. (Asociación de Ministros Evangélicos de Nevada), una red de más de 15 iglesias en el área de Reno, Sparks y Carson City; el pastor Nathan DuPree, de Living Stones Church, director ejecutivo de 360 Blueprint (una colaboración de los organismos de aplicación de la ley locales, el distrito escolar del condado de Washoe y los líderes de la comunidad local) y copresidente del African American Clergy Council of Northern Nevada (AACCoNN), un consejo conformado por organizaciones religiosas, iglesias y pastores que se unen para apoyar a nuestra comunidad y se enfoca en las familias, la salud, la educación, el desarrollo laboral y la prevención de delitos; Norris DuPree, Jr., Ph.D. y presidente de Transformations Therapy and Behavioral Consultation; el pastor DeSean Horne de Second Baptist Church; Dean Dow, MBA, CMTE, presidente y director ejecutivo de REMSA, y Anthony Slonim, MD, DrPH, presidente y director ejecutivo de Renown. El primer proyecto para apoyar a nuestra comunidad y abordar la equidad en materia de salud es asociarnos con los pastores del área para proporcionar pruebas gratuitas de COVID-19 mediante hisopado nasal para los adultos y niños de organizaciones religiosas, las iglesias y los niños de WCSD.
