Leadership rally
At Northwell Health, our single focus is to make health care better. We’re relentless in our dedication to enhance the quality, improve the safety and elevate the delivery of care —all with the goal of transforming the health of the communities we serve.
Through our Leadership Rally, we’re engaging and inspiring leaders at Northwell Health to foster and grow our unique culture that enables us to make health care the best it can be. When people are inspired to reach higher and achieve more, amazing things happen.
The Leadership Rally is part of how we uphold our promise to go the extra mile, for our patients and each other. It’s our dedication to continue to grow our employees, through inspiration, innovation, and challenges. It’s our way of “inspiring colleagues to innovate, communicate, and collaborate to serve patients and improve people’s lives.” – Dr. Kevin Tracy.
MyRecognition
Our people are made for delivering exceptional patient and customer experiences. Our myRecognition program provides a way to recognize those who exceed our expectations in these areas:
The myRecognition platform is an engaging and easy-to-navigate tool for leaders and colleagues to recognize their teams, peers, and build awareness around success stories across the organization. This program aims to standardize Northwell Health’s rewards and recognition practices, and be seen for our outstanding commitment to and delivery of Northwell Health’s mission, vision and Culture of C.A.R.E.
Healthcare Recognition days
When it comes to healthcare excellence, our people are Made for this. That’s why we do everything we can during National Nurses Week to recognize, reward, complement, commend, honor, praise, salute, spoil and just plain celebrate them.
Team members at Northwell share a passion to give back. They give back to Northwell and their own communities. They volunteer. They contribute. They make a difference. We achieve this during our annual Northwell Health Walk, Casual for Cohen, our new What Matters Most Relay, and so much more. More than 1,000 employees participated in the 2019 Northwell Health Walk — contributing to the record total of $1 million.
By giving back, our team members contribute to medical advancements, new technology and most importantly, it transforms how we care for patients. Supporting Northwell in this way demonstrates that we just don’t make a difference – we are the difference.
