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.

El creciente número de casos y muertes por COVID-19 es preocupante; las mascarillas pueden ralentizar la tendencia. 100 de los principales sistemas de atención médica del país, que representan a miles de hospitales en comunidades de todo el país, se han unido para hacer un pedido urgente a todos los estadounidenses: usen las mascarillas, ya que es la forma más eficaz de frenar la creciente pandemia de COVID-19 en este momento. Más de 11.5 millones de estadounidenses han dado positivo en las pruebas para el virus, incluido un millón más solo en la última semana, lo que provocó casi 250,000 fallecimientos. The current trends are daunting and frightening. If the nation stays on its current course, hospital leaders are increasingly concerned that more healthcare facilities will be overwhelmed as shortages of healthy caregivers make it difficult to handle a rapidly increasing number of patients. Unfortunately, this is already happening in parts of our country. The next several months will be critical. Though there has been positive news about vaccine development, no one knows when those vaccines will be ready for widespread use. In the meantime, everyone must remain vigilant, take precautions and follow public health orders. The country has reached a tipping point. The power to do what is right is now in the hands of everyone everywhere. Beginning today, a public service message will run in The New York Times, USA Today, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post and The Los Angeles Times. Additionally, leading hospitals and health systems across the country will continue to unite to share these messages regionally. The message reads: “As the top nationally-ranked hospitals, we know it’s tough that we all need to do our part and keep wearing masks. But, here’s what we also know: The science has not changed. Masks slow the spread of COVID-19. So, please join us as we all embrace this simple ask: Wear. Care. Share with #MaskUp. Together, wearing is caring. And together, we are saving lives.” In an effort to reach a broader audience, the public service effort will also include messages on digital platforms, social media, online information, links to vital health resources and more.  Combining resources demonstrates that these health organizations are working together, will accomplish this today and will get through this together. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention points to recent studies that have shown facemasks successfully limit spread of the COVID-19 virus. Wearing facemasks protect in key ways: by protecting the wearer against inhalation of harmful pathogens and particulates and by preventing exposure of those around the wearer. In addition to masking, the CDC suggests that everyone minimize the number of non-household contacts, maintain a physical distance of at least six feet, and limit the amount of time around others, especially while indoors and in poorly ventilated areas. For further information about masking guidelines – how to choose a mask, how to properly wear a mask – visit the CDC website.     About us: www.everymaskup.com es una colaboración de 100 sistemas de salud líderes que representan a miles de hospitales de todo Estados Unidos y que se unen para crear mensajes que mejoren las comunidades a las que prestan servicios. The impetus for this, and other public service campaigns to follow, came from a group of health care marketing and communications executives meeting for a decade and reengaged weekly since the COVID-19 pandemic began. The goal is to share knowledge and experience, best practices, strategies and resources - knowing they can accomplish more together. Founded and led by Rhoda Weiss, Ph.D., Los Angeles-based national health care leader and consultant, the expanded coalition is partnering with Cleveland Clinic Chief Marketing and Communications Officer Paul Matsen and his team for this effort. Additionally, hospitals and health systems on a regional basis continue to come together to send messages like these of prevention and safety, hope and healing, life and death, care and caring.Media Contacts:Rhoda WeissM: 310-945-6730E: rhoda@rhodaweiss.comAngie KiskaM: 216-312-9170E: kiskaa@ccf.org     Los siguientes hospitales y sistemas de salud difundirán este mensaje en todo el país.   AdventHealth Nemours Children's Health System Adventist Health NewYork-Presbyterian Allegheny Health Network Northwell Health Atrium Health  Northwestern Medicine Avera Health Norton Healthcare Banner Health Ochsner Health Baptist Health Northeast Florida OhioHealth  Baylor Scott & White Health Oregon Health & Science University BJC HealthCare OSF HealthCare Bon Secours Mercy Health OU Health  Boston Children's Hospital  PeaceHealth Cedars-Sinai  Penn Medicine  Children’s Hospital Los Angeles Penn State Health Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia Providence  Children's Hospital of Orange County Renown Health Children's National Hospital  Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center ChristianaCare Rush University System for Health Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center RWJ Barnabas Health City of Hope Saint Luke's Health System (Kansas City, MO) Cleveland Clinic SCL Health CommonSpirit Health Scripps Health Community Health Systems Sharp HealthCare Cooper University Health Care Southwestern Health Resources Dana-Farber Cancer Institute SSM Health Dartmouth-Hitchcock Health  St. Elizabeth Healthcare Duke Health  St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital  Emory Healthcare St. Luke's Hospital (St. Louis)  Geisinger Stanford Health Care Hackensack Meridian Health Sutter Health HCA Healthcare Temple Health  Inspira Health Texas Health Resources Intermountain Healthcare The Christ Hospital Health Network Jefferson Health The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center Johns Hopkins Medicine The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center Kaiser Permanente ThedaCare Keck Medicine of USC TriHealth (Cincinnati) LifePoint Health Trinity Health  Mass General Brigham UC Davis Health Mayo Clinic UCHealth MedStar Health UC Health CINCINNATI Memorial Hermann UC San Diego Health  Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center UChicago Medicine  MemorialCare (Southern California) UCI Health Mercy UCLA Health Michigan Medicine UCSF Health Mount Sinai Health System UNC Health National Jewish Health  University of California Health Nationwide Children's Hospital University Hospitals (Cleveland) Nebraska Medicine University of Iowa Health Care    Virtua Health

Tres adolescentes de Los Ángeles convocaron a sus compañeros de la escuela secundaria para recaudar fondos y donar más de 1,300 mascarillas faciales para los empleados de Renown Health.  Mientras muchos adolescentes reflexionaban sobre los hitos perdidos, como el baile de graduación y el acto de graduación, que no se realizaron como consecuencia de la pandemia de COVID-19, tres estudiantes de último año de secundaria de Los Ángeles se sintieron inspiradas para marcar la diferencia. Las amigas Jessica Gestetner, Amanda Rosenthal y Katherine Konvitz organizaron una campaña de recaudación de fondos con sus compañeros de clase y compraron más de 1,300 mascarillas para el personal de Renown Health.  “Mis amigas y yo queríamos ayudar a nuestros médicos y enfermeras porque están afuera salvando vidas mientras nosotros tenemos la suerte de permanecer en casa y con salud”, declaró Gestetner “Recaudamos más de $3,500 y lo hemos gastado en mascarillas KN-95 para los héroes en Renown. This was our way of thanking all the healthcare workers for their selfless service.”  Why did these LA teens choose Renown Health for this donation? Katherine Konvitz tiene un amigo de la familia que trabaja en Renown, y así fue como las adolescentes se enteraron de la petición de apoyo comunitario de la organización para reunir mascarillas faciales y otros equipos de protección personal. Gracias a esta importante donación, Renown superó su objetivo de conseguir 10,000 mascarillas faciales donadas por la comunidad a fin de beneficiar a los empleados que trabajan en primera línea para ayudar a mantener la seguridad de la comunidad. “Puedo imaginar lo difícil que son estos tiempos para nuestros jóvenes, ya que no pueden ir a la escuela, pasar tiempo con sus amigos y experimentar todas las actividades que se consideran un rito de paso para muchos”, reflexionó Tony Slonim, MD, D.Ph., presidente y director ejecutivo de Renown Health. “I applaud the incredible act of kindness displayed by Jessica, Amanda and Katherine to give back to our staff, despite the challenging circumstances. We are extremely fortunate to have the generosity and support of northern Nevadans and people across the country as we work to improve the health and well-being of the people and communities we serve.”   Aside from their face mask contribution, Ms. Gestetner, Rosenthal and Konvitz also made a financial donation to Renown’s Healthcare Workers Greatest Needs fund, where donations are directed to address the highest needs our healthcare teams are currently facing as they continue to screen, diagnose and care for patients with respiratory illness, including COVID-19. Las personas interesadas en enviar notas de agradecimiento o hacer una donación desgravable de equipos de protección personal, comidas o dinero, pueden visitar renown.org/donations-covid-19/ o pueden comunicarse con la fundación de Renown Health, 245 E Liberty St #400, Reno, NV 89501. Teléfono: (775) 982-5545  Renown sigue recibiendo donaciones de mascarillas, batas y gorros quirúrgicos y agradece el apoyo de nuestra comunidad. Donations are accepted through the main entrance at the Tahoe Tower of Renown Regional Medical Center. Please let the security staff know you are dropping off donations for the mask donation drive and these items will be marked accordingly. All handcrafted masks, gowns and surgical caps are laundered and sanitized before distribution to appropriate areas.    In addition to the personal protective equipment Renown has received during these unprecedented times, people have thanked care providers through hundreds of notes and cards, as well as numerous generous meal donations for frontline staff. These donations have a tremendous impact on Renown’s ability to continue to provide quality care in northern Nevada despite the challenges brought by the COVID-19 pandemic.        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.
