RE: Hospital Week 2009
DATE: April 29, 2009


Hospital Week Celebrates A Healthy Commitment in Changing Times. Redwood Area Hospital employees will have their “commitment” on display May 10-16, but officials say the sense of dedication lasts far beyond National Hospital Week.

“The people who meet the daily health care needs of our community are a committed, compassionate group of individuals united by their calling to help others,” Jim Schulte, CEO said. “Health care is changing to meet new challenges, but our commitment is an enduring source of pride and confidence.”

National Hospital Week 2009, celebrated the week of May 10-16, is the nation’s largest annual health care event. This year’s theme is “A Healthy Commitment in Changing Times,” a phrase organizers believe provides a positive view of the future.

“It’s always been about our people. Change is inevitable but our goals and our mission of being ‘caring people…caring for people’ are constant. Our employees want the very best for our patients and that’s what they bring to our hospital every day of the year,” Schulte said.

National Hospital Week began in 1921 and, over the decades, has helped revolutionize the public view of hospital. The health care industry employs more than 14 million workers throughout the U.S.

Please join us during hospital week in celebrating the great services that our facility brings to this community and thank a healthcare worker for all of their hard work and dedication in serving you in your time of need.

At the Redwood Area Hospital, we are the caring people…caring for people.
