Picture This
On March 8, instructors from Educational Light School of Chess and Math, a local chess program, visited the Hospital to play chess with children throughout the Lerner Children’s Pavilion. The goal of the program was to expose the children to the game, which has numerous cognitive and physical benefits, and hopefully inspire them to continue playing when they leave the Hospital. The children were extremely happy to have this experience while at HSS.
Compliance Helpline Reminder The Compliance Helpline is a service for employees who wish to anonymously or confidentially report suspected violations of the Hospital for Special Surgery’s Code of Conduct, officially stated policies or relevant public laws and regulations. This includes concerns about patient safety. The Helpline does not replace other resources available to you, including supervisors, managers and Human Resources staff, but it is an alternative channel available to you 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. It is operated on our behalf by National Helpline Services, Inc., an independent firm.
