Southern Oregon Monthly Marketing Update - October 2020
It’s October? What? How? Case Management Week is October 11th. Our team is very excited to have been able to coordinate with so many providers in the community this month, to support hospital case managers. We are working with 135+ providers to deliver gift bags to more than 1400 case managers at 40 different hospitals. During COVID we have had to reschedule so many face-to-face opportunities and it forced our team to be more
creative on how to better serve our sponsors and the referral sources we work with. Case Management Week is one example of how we have “found a way” to bring our community resources together. In addition to the gift bags, our team also facilitated and scheduled 40 different hospital lunches/breakfasts to serve almost 1200 case managers meals at participating hospitals. It is amazing what we are able to accomplish when we all work together to serve our communities. It's not too late if you would like to contribute! Please see details below.
During the wildfires last month, many volunteers shared Retirement Connection Guides and Care Availability with displaced families to help as a much needed resource. Retirement Connection is more than a print guide. We email you this newsletter each month to keep you up to date; post community events, coordinate resource fairs; facilitate introductions; post when there are job changes among providers; now we also post
real-time availability online; and so much more. As you plan your 2021 budgets, I hope you see the value we bring and want to support Retirement Connection in your community.

Case Manager Goodie Bags: View short Goodie Bag informational Video. If you’d like to be included in the goodie bag delivery or add new hospitals, please signup here: Goodie Bag Form. If a hospital has 30 staff- you will provide 30 items for that hospital. Ideas include: handwritten notes, logo freezer/heat packs, $5 Starbucks cards, kind bars, other snacks, etc. Each hospital needs to be packaged separately when you leave at the sponsor drop location (NOT the hospital).
All items for each hospital will be combined in a single bag for each case manager to receive during case management week.
*Please note, all items must be dropped at the Drop Locations NOT NOT NOT the hospital. Items delivery has been extended for Roseburg until Oct 8th and Southern Oregon until October 12th- due to fires in September. Thank you to all who have already delivered their items for the other areas! Each hospital needs to be packaged separately when you leave items at the drop location (NOT the
hospital). Please label your items with 1) Hospital name 2) # of items 3) your company name. Retirement Connection will pick up the items and consolidate all items for each hospital into bags for each case manager to receive during case management week. You can participate in as many hospitals as you wish.
Case Manager Meals: If you would like to provide a NO CONTACT drop-off lunch for the hospitals, the only hospital with remaining openings are, Asante Ashland, Asante Rogue Regional, and Asante Three Rivers.

We are pleased to see increased site visits and new users progressing quickly while spending substantial time searching or updating availability.
Testimonial:My staff and I love the site and use it daily for our patients. The site is easy to update and is free to providers to be listed and to update. I'd like to ask that all providers utilize CareAvailability.com to update your availability. Samaritan Hospitals utilize this tool more than ever during this time. We direct our patients and families to view this site and expect accuracy. This cannot be used properly when it’s not being updated. I must press the issue that your company may be losing referrals if it is
not up to date, as we are directing our team to reach out to those showing availability updated within the last 24 hours.

Additional Resources
There are so many resources included in Retirement Connection, that often a few may slip past you and may not be noticed. Did you know that the guide also includes:
This quote was shared with me
after our last sponsor breakfast call, and I think it really speaks to our efforts surrounding case management week, managing COVID updates online, and postings about Fire resources this past month. When we all work together- every one of us benefits. Not every provider is able to be a sponsor in our Retirement Connection Guide, but everyone of us has an opportunity to be a resource.
