Thank you!<\/p>\n
There are many times that this column ends with a thank you, but on the Labor Day weekend it seems like it is a good idea to say it first \u2014 right at the top.<\/p>\n
Thank you to our incredible MultiCare team \u2014 every single one of you! This weekend celebrates the fundamental relationship that we have with each other: we work together. I am thankful every day for the opportunity to be a part of this organization. I do not grow weary of telling people that the shared mission of everyone who makes up our team is that together we are partnering for healing and a healthy future and that our shared vision is that MultiCare will be the Pacific Northwest\u2019s highest value system of health.<\/p>\n
If you are working over this holiday weekend, please accept an extra measure of thanks from your colleagues who are able to enjoy an extra-long weekend because of you. That\u2019s another way in which you take care of each other.<\/p>\n
Thank you for being a part of this shared Labor Day in one of the most tumultuous times we\u2019ve ever known or are likely to experience. I\u2019ve seen how you have endeavored to take care of one another, even as you were focused on taking care of those in need. We each benefit from knowing that those we are working alongside \u201chave our backs.\u201d We echo the sentiments of French philosopher Simone Weil, who described the truest relationships as marked by simply \u201cbeing able to say, \u2018What are you going through?\u2019\u201d Thank you for how you\u2019ve been concerned and watchful for your fellow team members.<\/p>\n
Thank you for being the face of care and compassion for our patients and their families. Our work places us in relationship with people when they are experiencing some of the most significant things that ever happen to them. From the birth of a baby through all of life\u2019s most emotionally charged circumstances, right to the end\u2014we accompany our patients in times when compassion is essential. Thank you for taking this responsibility so seriously and for bringing helpfulness and kindness to every encounter.<\/p>\n
