Happy New Year and welcome to the start of 52 Weeks of Happiness! January's theme "All For One", is perfect for a month with so many new beginnings that call for all of us to show up in support of each other. I'm excited about the year ahead and this fun program which will remind us weekly that our KCH team is the CORE of what makes our Mission possible. Kevin Knepper, CEO

January 17 - 21, 2022 - I Have A Dream, Share Your Story

 MLK day is this week, which makes it a good time for reflecting on what this day signifies and our roles in promoting diversity and equity across our teams. We each bring our own experiences and backgrounds to our work and more than anything, celebrations like MLK day bring awareness to blind spots in experiences besides our own.
​
It also reminds us that discrimination and bias still exist. We are committed to understanding each of your experiences and want to provide a safe space to do that.

MLK Day may bring up ideas or feedback that people may especially want to share now. Please share your story so we can get to know you a little better, it will remain private unless given permission by you.  At the end of the survey you will find out what the small prize for submission of your story is.

January 10 - 15, 2022 - Recognize Others!

•  Baskets will be delivered to each clinic location on Tuesday evening with miscellaneous items for you to use to recognize a team member in a different department.
• Simply take an item from the basket and present to a team member in a different department to thank them for their amazing contributions.  After giving the gift, don’t forget to take a picture and send it in to jobs@kchni.org so we can share all the recognition given!!
• Don’t be afraid to seek out someone you have never met before and simply thank them for being a team member!  This is a great opportunity to get to know your fellow team members and recognize what others do outside of your own department.​
