Magnet Minute Week of 6/13/22 Raising Awareness/Money for those Facing Health Disparities in our Area Structural Empowerment
A friendly competition among teams to support our neighbors in need… Likely someone you know is at increased risk for disease or mortality due to age, race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status or a disability.
JULY 8th —JULY 24th …Here’s how it works…
Adequate access to health care and necessary supplies to support a healthy lifestyle is a challenge for more of our friends and neighbors than one might imagine.
The Nursing Excellence Team is implementing a “Penny Wars” competition among ALL EH teams with the opportunity for money earned to be offered to local food pantries, diaper banks, milk banks, shelters, and other local organizations who work to help our neighbors facing health disparities.
Interested areas should RSVP by JULY 5, 2022 PLEASE SEE ATTACHED FLIER for complete details!
Each area will make a coin collection container, marked with their charity of choice (optional suggestions attached). The container should be kept in a location that is secure yet visible. While department staff collect money for the charity and ADD POINTS in the “WAR” by adding pennies and bills, staff from competing areas may add silver coins to the container, which will add to the charity, but DEDUCT POINTS from that unit/dept. The goal is to raise awareness/money and to have some fun.
