This month we’re celebrating the Disability Awareness and Inclusion Month. Please join us in learning more about this important group with Volumes 1 and 2 of Trinity Health’s newsletter series.

In recognition of Veterans Day, we extend deep gratitude to our veterans for their brave and selfless service to our country. We offer our heartfelt thanks to every colleague, physician, nurse, and patient who has ever worn the uniform of our country – or other countries. Thank you for answering the call of duty. Thank you for your gallant courage. Thank you for the extraordinary sacrifices you and your families have made on our behalf in the name of freedom, liberty, and peace.

On the one-year anniversary of our first COVID patient, we held a memorial event, Hope and Healing, to honor the colleagues, loved ones and patients we had lost during the pandemic. A piece of artwork from our Saint John’s Bible, called Jacob’s Ladder, was unveiled during the event and is now permanently installed at the entrance of the Christ the Healer Chapel. Alongside the framed art is a plaque that reads: To those we loved and lost during the COVID pandemic. 

We hope as you view the artwork, you are reminded of the importance of the sacred work you do each and every day. You are a blessing!

Saint Agnes is joining with West Fresno Ministerial Alliance in feeding 3,000 Fresno families. Each will receive a turkey and – with our help – all the trimmings for a Thanksgiving meal. You can help by donating food items like canned corn or creamed corn, green beans, cranberry sauce, small bags of dried beans, rice, and boxes of stuffing and cornbread mix. Drop-off food bins are available in One Main Café, Cyber Café, The Plaza (lobby) and at several of our Saint Agnes Care clinics. The last day to donate is Sunday, November 14. Whether you can give a little or a lot, even just one item will be greatly appreciated!

Have you noticed the new time clocks being installed throughout the hospital and in our offsite buildings? More than just a cool new look, they offer new functionality that will affect the way we track our time. The new system – called Kronos – goes live Sunday, January 6, and will replace Time AD and TimeTrac.
