b'Thanks to you, anything is possibleHere we arehalfway through the year in 2019. And what an amazing year its been so far! From innovation to growth and expansion, much has been accomplished in these last six months together.This is a great time to take a moment and recognize what weve achieved so far. Our Night Council has come together to implement change and revolutionize the way we interact with patients during quiet hours. Weve been bringing the best talent to our team by hiring top-notch candidatesmany that youve referred to us directly. After hearing that you needed a place to unwind during your breaks, we opened a brand-new Employee Lounge. And we continue to save lives every day with our critical services for cardiac, stroke and trauma. Because.You asked, we listened.These are just a few of the many things Im so proud to say weve been working on. All of this adds up to being able to serve our community in a greater capacity. Whether were enhancing our facilities, improving the patient experience, or making sure you have what you need to be successfulit all boils down to making the East End a better place to be.We should also take note of the times weve come together to celebrate our community and each other. Youve been busy taking part in the Northwell Health Walk, our Spring Gala, Nurses Week and more. Seeing you step outside your role to champion these causes shows your deep dedication to improving lives.Thank you, to all of you, for making the first half of 2019 such an outstanding success. Each and every one of you are truly made for this!Andy Mitchell2'
