Lakewood Health System

Health System Week concluded with lots of LHS pride - thanks to all our employees who wore their Lakewood swag and posed for pictures on the orange couch last week! Here are a few of our fav's:

We are THRILLED to announce our 2024 Team Member of the Year - Tiff Lorber! Tiff is an OB Tech & HUC with over a decade of service at Lakewood. Tiff delivers high, quality personalized care to all patients she interacts with, and extends that service and compassion to her fellow staff, too. Tiff goes above and beyond in all she does, lifts the unit with her enthusiasm and humor, and embodies Lakewood Orange each day. Congratulations Tiff! #LHSHealthSystemWeek

Today and tomorrow we're tantalizing taste buds with discounted employee drinks from Something Good coffee truck and by sharing sweet & salty treats! This #LHSHealthSystemWeek is becoming more delicious each day!

This week we are celebrating Health System Week, and kicked it off with a DELICIOUS staff appreciation meal! Thanks to our executive leadership team for stepping up to serve this special meal with a smile. #LHSHealthSystemWeek

As we wrap up #nationalnursesweek we have to take a quick moment to shout out to our amazing nurses across our system. Across the spectrum of life you provide the most compassionate, personalized care to our patients, residents and their families. Thank you for reminding us what makes #LakewoodORANGE different!

We were AMAZED at the sea of orange at our GIVE ORANGE event this past Friday where sponsors and attendees helped us raise over $45,000 for our Lakewood Oncology Fund! These dollars will go directly support our patients and their families as they navigate cancer treatment at Lakewood. Special thanks to Sandra Thompson for sharing her cancer journey at Lakewood over the past year, as well as to Dr. Wade Swenson, oncology provider, and Kali Pachan, social worker. You all shared the difference Lakewood Orange makes in the lives of our patients and their families each day.

🧪Our lab team sure knows how to celebrate their special #labweek2024 🧫Thank you to all our lab team members for providing high quality, compassionate care! 🔬From your calm presence during blood draws, to swift analysis of samples and more - #labiseverything and we couldn’t provide the care we do without you! 💙🧡 Just another glimpse of #worklifeatlakewood 💙🧡

We had a little fun with some of our business friends for a photo op yesterday - thanks to Daniel Douts and Jef Cichos for being willing to get messy on behalf of our foundation’s annual Give Orange event next month! Buy your ticket to the event or get more info at https://lnkd.in/gX5YAUaB

Plant the seed now so passion for healthcare careers can grow! 🌱 Thank you VERNDALE PUBLIC SCHOOL DISTRICT for having us for a lunch & learn career panel today! We loved sharing about our careers, answering questions from students and hopefully opening the door to a career in healthcare for some of your students!
