This You Tube video entitled the “Pink Glove Dance” was passed along to me:
Initially created as a way for MedLine to raise awareness for its new line of pink gloves, it was done to increase Breast Cancer Awareness. However, it is also obvious that it involved staff at all levels at Providence St. Vincent Medical Center in Portland, Oregon, along with their supplier Medline. I especially enjoyed the environmental service workers dance with their high dusters, and food service people with their plates! What a great way to energize an organization, and have employees be front and center.
I guess it is not surprising that this hospital has been a Thomson Reuters 100 Top Hospital a phenomenal 10 times, last named in April 2009. Their focus on their employees is manifested by this quote on their web site from Janice Burger, chief executive of Providence St. Vincent. “Our highly skilled physicians, nurses and staff are dedicated to delivering outstanding, compassionate care to our patients and their families.”
With an administrative staff that puts their employees first, their patients benefit.
Great job, Providence St. Vincent.
