"Masks On" Coming SoonDue to increasing reports of influenza in our region, area hospitals are expected to announce “Masks On” very soon. Once this is announced, all employees, vendors, contract employees and physicians who have not yet received this year’s flu vaccine will be required to wear a surgical mask while in any Woman’s Hospital facility.
Now is the time to get your flu vaccine in Employee Health if have not already done so. If you receive a flu vaccine outside of Woman's Hospital, please bring a copy of the documentation to Employee Health so they can tag your badge.

Healthy Merits
Be Positive Challenge
Starting Monday, Oct. 17, the Be Positive Challenge invites you to stop complaining for 30 days. Negativity and constant complaining can not only drag you down a dark road, but it can infectiously do the same to those around you.
This month, try to place more of your focus and energy on the positive things in your life rather than honing in on the negative. There is no such thing as a perfect life, but focusing on the good rather than the bad will foster a happier attitude and a happier life overall. For the next month, don’t complain. If you slip up, you can counteract the negativity by stating three positive things for every negative comment you make.
This challenge is worth 100 Healthy Merit points. Log in on Monday, Oct. 17 to join the Be Positive Challenge.
