Monthly Marketing Update
- September 2021

I jinxed us last month with my enthusiasm to meet in person for network meetings.  Really sorry about that. I am excited to be the speaker this month at the COPS meeting (Coordinators of Patient Services) and my topic is “The 5 love languages/ Appreciation in the workplace". At a time when the world is short-staffed, I feel it important to find ways to recognize those that show up every day.

Case Management Week is October 10-16th. I am excited that several local hospitals will be participating, Click here for more details or sign up to donate items for goodie bags or to provide lunches. Not every hospital is participating again this year, for different reasons, but we tried to capture at least a few in each area we cover.

I need to send a special THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS. We know that the past year has been tough on everyone, and advertising may not have been on your mind or budget, but I need to take a moment and recognize that ALL we do at Retirement Connection (the printed guide, the 2 websites, the events, the network meetings, etc) is only possible because of our sponsors/advertisers. I hope you will choose to support those that support us. In case you wondered if it is worth it, we have a few new testimonials.

Case Management Week: October 11-15th


Last year, our team delivered “Thank you bags” to over 1500 case management staff at 45 hospitals from Everett, WA to Medford, OR. More than 150 providers in several cities donated items to recognize the hard work of local case managers and we look forward to doing it again!

For providers that wish to participate, in September we will email a form with all participating hospitals and the # of case management staff at each hospital. Providers then select which hospitals to support and will provide the “same small gift” for every case manager at the hospital. So if a hospital has 40 case management staff, a provider would donate 40 items for that hospital. Some examples: the items can be as simple as a hand written thank you, may include a small $5 gift card, or just a cold can drink, or kind bar.

When thinking of your items: try to keep value less than $10, NO alcohol, NO perishable food items (fruit, etc), NO personally baked items (cookies, etc), NO glass (breakable coffee mugs). These restrictions ensure your donation arrives fresh and unbroken after being moved, assembled, moved again, stored, and delivered.

Nuggets of Knowledge

 

“We are not all in the same boat. We are in the same storm. Some have yachts, some canoes, and some are drowning."
- Adapted quote by Damian Barr

As I managed my own stress and anxiety, sometimes I do not show enough grace to others, and I can compare my burden to others.  On my personal Facebook page, I recently posted an update following my husband’s surgery and many commented that it was “inspiring”.  As much as I appreciated that- I am fortunate to have a great support system in place- that helps my boat weather the storm.  You know what is really inspiring-offering help to others and admitting when we need help.
