CELEBRATING YOU

Get ready for free meals, snacks and ice cream — all for National Hospital Week!

You deserve to be celebrated. You — our physicians, residents, nurses, staff and volunteers — are responsible for our clinical and administrative programs being among the best. You put patient care and service at the heart of all that you do, and it’s time to recognize your commitment to quality care, hospitality and service.

National Hospital Week

During National Hospital Week, May 9-13, our leaders want to show appreciation for everyone who provides and supports care in our UF Health Shands hospitals and outpatient programs. Executives will serve free treats to staff at our Archer Road main campus locations. Visit the hospitals for a special lunch and dinner, an evening snack and afternoon ice cream social events.

Staff working in several other Gainesville locations will be visited by an ice cream truck offering frozen treats. Visit the Bridge for details and read this month’s Shands News emails.

“We do our best to offer something special in as many locations as possible, but it’s just a token of our year-round deep appreciation for all you do, every day, to serve patients, visitors and each other,” said Ed Jimenez, UF Health Shands CEO. “This is a special place to work because of the incredible, selfless people who make up the UF Health family. Thank you for all you do. You make a real difference in the lives of others.”
