For the fifth consecutive year, Yale New Haven’s Mutual Respect Committee will collaborate with the Primary Care Centers (PCCs) to present the Bundle of Joy event, March 14 - May 18. The committee invites employees throughout the hospital to team up with co-workers to create a “bundle” of new baby items for families in need at the PCC. This year, employees may also donate packages of diapers to be given to the New Haven Diaper Bank and distributed to area families. Suggested (new only, please) baby items for bundles include: diapers (sizes newborn and up), one-piece sleepers (sizes 6 months - 24 months), fitted crib sheets, baby toiletries, bibs and burp cloths, towels and wash cloths, baby wipes and layette sets. Please drop off baby items or diapers at the York Street Campus, in bins in the New Haven Unit cafeteria, Dana Clinic building, second floor, or outside the Atrium Grift Shop. At the Saint Raphael Campus, items may be dropped in a bin in the cafeteria.
Employees may also call Pat Byrne, 203-688-3752, or Karina Rondinella, 203-200-5610, to arrange to drop off items.
As part of emergency preparedness, the hospital will hold evacuation drills, 9 - 11:30 am Tuesday, March 20, York Street Campus, and Wednesday, March 21, Saint Raphael Campus. The hospital will activate its Incident Command Center, and three units on each campus will simulate an evacuation, using mannequins and people posing as patients. Other units will participate by reviewing evacuation procedures. An evacuation team, comprising staff from Facilities, Environmental Services, Patient Transport, Food and Nutrition and Materials Management, will be activated to move mock patients. Signs will be posted at both campuses to inform patients, visitors and employees of the drills.
March 30 is National Doctors’ Day, and there’s no better time to honor a physician who has made a difference in your life – as a caregiver or colleague. The Office of Development invites employees to donate to YNHH in honor of the occasion by visiting www.givetoynhh.org.
