New Year Brings Time for Reflection
Now that we’ve started the New Year, it’s good to take a look back to see the positive things that have happened over the past year. Continuing Education has been one of our top priorities. We are finishing up the last few facilities with our electronic medical record implementation, and are in the process of rolling out our online inservice program in all of our buildings for continuing our employees’ on-the-job inservice training. In addition, 30 of our LPNs are working to get their RN degree from Ball State University. This education is being funded by Ball State, Miller’s employee education funds and a TAG grant from the State of Indiana.
Over the past year, we have also welcomed nearly 400 new employees as we added four groups to the MHS work family. We started 2007 by adding the employees from Autumnwood of Tipton Hospital. As the ESOP was formed this fall, the therapists and staff from Theracare became part of Miller’s Health Systems. Finally, in December, we were joined by the employees from the former Bradner Village in Marion. Now, we’ve started 2008 with the addition of the employees from Autumnwood Village Assisted Living Community in Tipton. We want to welcome all of these employees, and we’re excited about the opportunities for growing our company. One thing we’ve been reminded of is that we’re blessed to work with people who want to make a difference in the lives of the people they serve. Each facility has employees who go above and beyond their day to day responsibilities to try to make sure our residents’ requests are met. We work with some extremely dedicated and talented employees and for that we are very thankful. We were very blessed in 2007 and we look forward to a great 2008!
