share our talents for our patients and our families as we keep up the fight against COVID-19. The start of school season has been especially challenging for our colleagues with children and grandchildren. Stay strong and don’t forget to access the spiritual, emotional, and financial resources HCA Healthcare offers. More information is included on pg. 6. Again, I want to thank you for choosing to come to work at Research. Each day you are providing the highest level of care for our patients. Whether your role is clinical or nonclinical, whether you have worked at Research for decades or days - you are an important member of the Research Family! This month, Senior Leaders visited departments with Roaming Town Hall Coffee Carts. While we never want “rounding” to interrupt patient care, this is a way to talk together for a few minutes when gathering in large groups isn’t possible. We always want to know about what’s important to you, address questions you have, and share some organizational updates. We hope these little breaks with coffee or tea, and a snack were a good break in your busy day. I personally enjoy getting to know you - so I hope you had a chance to pause for “a cup of Joe with your O.”
