The rumors are true! You may have already heard that our intranet is getting a major refresh, and it’s launching the evening of September 5. The update will happen automatically, so there’s nothing you need to do.
The redesigned intranet will be easier to use, more organized, and more engaging, with photos and our full brand colors. Marketing worked closely with many departments across Welia Health to make sure the new site better fits staff needs.
See something missing? Email tanderson@welia.org — we’ll keep making updates even after launch.
Stay tuned!
This week, we’re honoring our amazing pharmacists and pharmacy staff who are essential to our patient care team. Their knowledge and dedication help ensure safe medication use, guide treatment decisions, and support patients every step of the way. Thank you for all you do to keep our community healthy!
The physical therapy department had 26,027 PT/PTA outpatient visits since January
Some specialty group visits include:
Specialty Area Highlight: Vestibular Therapy
Our vestibular team is made up of 9 physical therapists across 3 locations who have undergone additional training and coursework in identifying various vestibular and balance related impairments. Our vestibular therapists can help rehabilitate a wide variety of conditions ranging from general balance challenges, concussions, and acute or chronic dizziness including vertigo (sensation of spinning) and unsteadiness. We have infrared video technology to assess eye movements to help diagnosis conditions such as BPPV, hypofunction, and help screen for strokes. We want our older adult population to know that a decline in balance can be challenged and improved at any stage in life.
From October 6-12, 2024, we’re excited to recognize National Health Care Supply Chain Week! This week is an opportunity to honor the importance of health care supply chain professionals and their exceptional contributions to patient care, along with the innovative ways they support our organizations.
A huge shoutout to our awesome supply chain team at Welia Health! Your hard work ensures we have everything we need, and you truly help everyone—patients and staff alike.
Thank you for keeping things running smoothly and making such a meaningful impact! We really appreciate everything you do!
October 6-12th is Healthcare Foodservice Workers Week, and we want to give a huge shoutout to our awesome Nutritional Services staff at Welia Health!
Thanks for all the hard work you put in to ensure our patients get the meals they need and our staff and visitors enjoy great food, too. There’s no doubt we have the best nutritional services team around. We’re so grateful for everything you do!
We’re celebrating our progress with the Employee Engagement survey!
We’re exceeding our overall 75% goal. Join us for a Root Beer Float Social and help us keep the momentum going, special announcement coming soon to celebrate hitting our goal!
One of our goals this year was to present information to Welia’s employees and improve our validation of the information being taught.
Happy Heroes (Patient Experience) is kicking off September as a validation month and utilizing a new tool (new to some) called Microsoft Forms. Please complete this form to recognize employees who use positive body language. Those who complete the form will be entered into a drawing to win a pack of four movie theater tickets to the Paradise Theater in Mora.
The Happy Heroes recognizes that some employees’ body language is easy to view, and others are not, as you may only communicate with them via teams, phone, or email. So, we ask that you be creative in allowing every employee to be validated in their positive body language.
Remember, body language can include eye contact, shared laughter, empathetic and supportive behavior, smiling, open posture, leaning in, tone of voice, patience, and speaking slowly and clearly.
Let’s have fun nominating each other and watching for positive body language.
If you have not seen the fun body language video starring some of our own, please take the time to view it here!
Have fun! ❤ Happy Heroes
Happy Monday! Below is information on Employee Blood Draws taking place during Employee Health Days.
