BRETT’S LETTER
Letter from the President
Many special days and holidays have been and will be observed in the weeks and
months ahead, such as Nurses Week, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Armed Forces Day,
Memorial Day—just to name a few. While each of these days present the opportunity
for us to honor and thank those being recognized, I am particularly excited about a celebration that is
especially meaningful to TEAMPROVIDENCE.
National Hospital Week was May 11 – 17. This week celebrated hospitals and the women and men who
are dedicated to transforming the health of individuals and communities. While there are many parts of our
organization that are recognized during specific days or weeks, National Hospital Week is a celebration of us—
TEAMPROVIDENCE.
To commemorate this week, all associates were offered a free TEAMPROVIDENCE t-shirt to wear in
celebration of TEAMPROVIDENCE Day on Friday, May 16, or Saturday, May 17 for our Weekend Warriors.
On May 17, we descended upon Cameron Park Zoo for our annual associate picnic and our Weekend Warriors
received a free lunch from the InProv Grille. I enjoyed celebrating with each and every one of you during
National Hospital week and was delighted to see hundreds of TEAMPROVIDENCE shirts in our halls and at
the picnic. Click here for photos of this great celebration!
Thank you to all our physicians, associates and volunteers for your unwavering dedication to quality and
your compassionate care of our patients. Through coordination with your colleagues, you are part of our
commitment to provide person-centered care across our broad continuum of services. You are what makes
Providence such a special place. You are TEAMPROVIDENCE.
Brett Esrock, President and CEO

Park resident’s faces by surprising them with green flowers in

tables in the resident dining areas.
