We Appreciate You!
Naturally, our appreciation for the staff and physicians of the East Hawai'i Region is not limited to one week annually, however, we do like to pull out all the stops to show just how much we are grateful for the hard work and dedication shown during Hospital Week!
​
Hospital Week is nationally recognized during the first full week of May. Each year, we use this time to recognize the dedicated people providing quality care every day.
Hospital Week
The Executive Management Team and the Hospital Week Committee try to bring a little more fun and joy to the work-lives of the staff and physicians of the East Hawai'i Region by choosing a theme every year for Hospital Week. Once a theme is chosen, the committee tries to provide activities and snacks based around the theme, tying in the fun all around.
Staff Activities
Every year during Hospital Week, the Hospital Week Committee provides fun activities for the staff to do on their break. Previous years included scavenger hunts, photo booths, 5-minute massages, arts & crafts, trivia and more. Some of the activities provide staff a chance to win a prize and some are there to help destress and relax.
Employee Appreciation Gift​
​
Every year, the Executive Management Team of the Hawai'i Health Systems Corporation: East Hawai'i Region chooses a few different gifts with the East Hawai'i Flywheel Logo for the staff. Each year, the staff can choose from a non-sized item like a bag, water flask, etc.; a sized item like a jacket, vest, fleece, etc.; or a quality scrub top. The email with the link to choose the gift is sent to the HHSC email within the first quarter of the year. If you started working for the region after the email was sent, no worries! We always get extra!
International Menu & Daily Snack
​
The Hilo Benioff Medical Center Food & Nutrition Services (FANS) department graciously creates delicious & nutritious daily specials for the 'Ohana Cafe and provides free house made snacks that change from day to day as a treat for the wonderful staff of the hospital.
