Hotel Accommodations for Frontline Staff
We have partnered with local hotels to provide a safe resting place for our frontline coworkers. Please review and fill out this form to determine whether you meet the criteria to receive this benefit. Discounts on hotels in the area are also available for those that do not meet the criteria and would like to book on their own.
Share Your Story or Recognize a Colleague
Share a story or recognize a colleague by sending a submission through this form. We look forward to hearing about all of your heroic efforts.
Stop at Nothing Campaign
Last year, UCI Health launched its Stop at Nothing campaign to tell the community about your outstanding works and highlight the critical role UCI Health plays in improving the health and well-being of our patients. During these unprecedented times, this still holds true.
Last month we launched our first Stop at Nothing TV commercial. The response has been overwhelming. I wanted to share this with all of you, and thank you again for all of the work you are doing to make UCI Health the best place to receive care.
