Yesterday, we had the opportunity to bring together a group of UHS leaders and attendees for a unique mentoring and networking experience centered on connection, learning and growth. Through interactive table-talk discussions, participants rotated between conversations, engaging directly with leaders whose expertise, experiences and career journeys resonated most with them. The result was a morning filled with meaningful insights on leadership and career development. A special thank you to the 20 corporate leaders who took time out of their busy schedules to join us for coffee and conversation. Your openness to share your experiences made a lasting impact on everyone involved. Events like this are a powerful reminder that mentorship matters at every stage of a career, not only in finding mentors, but also in recognizing the opportunity each of us has to support and guide others along the way. Thank you as well to UHS TEAM CARE for organizing such a thoughtful and engaging event!

During our National Nurses Week celebration, our Executive Speaker Series featured an inspiring conversation with Brenda Woodcock, Vice President and Chief Nursing Officer for the Acute Care Division. Brenda shared her professional journey, beginning in medical‑surgical nursing. She spoke about how her med‑surg experience built a strong foundation, gave her exposure to many areas of care and allows her to connect with nurses across specialties. She also discussed her passion for women’s health and her work in high‑risk obstetrics, highlighting how each experience shaped her path. During the discussion, Brenda emphasized key ingredients for success, including focus, prioritization, preparation, a clear vision, strong communication and a supportive network. She also shared her enthusiasm for acute care, saying, “There’s something about being in the hospital on the acute‑care side. I love the excitement.” Reflecting on her transition into leadership and her journey to becoming a Chief Nursing Officer, Brenda reminded attendees of what motivates so many nurses: “When I started in nursing, I just knew I wanted to help others.” The session concluded with attendees coming together to celebrate our nursing team and recognize the dedication, compassion, and impact nurses make every day. We are grateful to our leadership team for taking the time to share their stories, experiences and insights with us.

Congratulations to everyone at Corona Regional Medical Center who made this possible for the fourth year in a row!

This week, we proudly celebrate Hospital Week, a time to recognize the people who make healing possible every single day. Across our Acute and Behavioral Health hospitals, thousands of moments unfold that never make headlines but change lives forever. A nurse who stays after shift change. A physician who listens just a little longer. An environmental services team that ensures a safe space. A food services worker who brings comfort with a warm meal. A technician who offers kindness when it is needed most. Hospital care is not a single role. It is a community of professionals showing up every day. To our caregivers, clinicians, leaders and support teams across the country: thank you for the long hours, the quiet victories, the hard days, and the unwavering commitment to patients and families. From all of us at UHS, we wish you a Happy Hospital Week.
