As we approach the close of 2024, I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude to each of you. Every day, I see how your commitment, generosity, and compassion makes a difference in the lives of the people, families, and communities we serve. Thank you for embodying our CARE values in everything you do.
To those of you working throughout the holiday season, thank you for your service during this time. While others celebrate with their loved ones, you are here - ensuring patients are safe and are receiving the care and comfort they need. During this time, I hope you are each able to steal some moments for yourselves and to connect with colleagues.
I also want to acknowledge the incredible generosity in our organization. Every year, individuals and teams come together to support those in need across our communities. The holidays can be challenging for many, and I am grateful that we hold compassion for those facing hardship.
On behalf of Island Health's Executive team and Board of Directors, we thank each of you for caring and compassion and wish each of you a safe and healthy holiday season. I look forward to seeing what we can accomplish together in the year ahead. Please enjoy this accompanying holiday video with a message of appreciation.
Happy Holidays!
