Four Centura Health facilities named Top Hospitals by Leapfrog

At Centura Health, we are committed to achieving zero harm to caregivers, patients and their families. One strategic way we measure and demonstrate our commitment to zero harm is through participation in the Leapfrog hospital survey. This annual voluntary survey assesses hospital safety, quality and efficiency based on national performance measures and allows us to benchmark our progress in improving the care we deliver.

The highest performing hospitals on the Leapfrog Hospital Survey are recognized annually with the prestigious Leapfrog Top Hospital Award. The award is not given to a set number of hospitals, but rather to all teaching, general, rural, and children's hospitals that meet the high standards defined in each year's Top Hospital Methodology.

The following Centura Health facilities were recognized as 2021 Leapfrog Top Hospitals:

Top General:
  • Castle Rock Adventist Hospital
Top Rural:
  • Mercy Hospital
Top Teaching:
  • Avista Adventist Hospital
  • St. Francis Hospital

Even when presented with the ongoing challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, our incredible caregivers continued to focus on high-quality, safe and reliable patient care. It is through the unwavering dedication of our unstoppable people that we will build upon these achievements and continue to drive excellent clinical outcomes for our healing legacy.

View this video sharing our appreciation for our incredible caregivers’ ongoing dedication to safety and clinical excellence, and leave a comment below to congratulate our 2021 Top Hospitals!

RN Clinical Ladder Town Halls


Click here for town hall dates, times, and Zoom information.
In April, we launched Focus on Action, a series of focus groups with our incredible nursing associates. These small group sessions were designed to build on the feedback shared in our associate engagement survey, providing a forum for us to continue our dialogue about your highest priorities and learn more about tangible action we can take to reimagine nursing practice across our connected ecosystem.

Based on your feedback, our new RN Clinical Ladder (RNCL) will launch on Jan. 1, 2022! The RNCL is a result of the identified need to recognize and differentiate exemplary professional nursing practice in our enterprise.

The goals of the program are to:

Join us on Dec. 9, 11 or 16 to learn more about this program and how to get involved! We will be holding a series of virtual town halls to share more information about the RNCL and answer any questions you may have. Click here for information about specific dates and times.

Your ongoing input is vital as we carry our shared mission forward. Thank you for all you do for our patients, their families and our communities!

Ensure you receive your tax forms on time

With the end of the year fast approaching, tax season will be upon us before we know it. Please take a moment to review the information below and verify your home address or ADP registration to ensure you receive your W-2 on time.

Paper W-2s mailed to your home
In order to receive a W-2 form through the mail, it is critical that all associates ensure their current address is accurate in Lawson prior to Thursday, Dec. 23. You can view and update your address online through Lawson Employee Self Service.

To verify your address, visit MyVirtualWorkplace and under the "Associates" tab, select "Employee Self Service" then log in as directed. Once in Employee Self Service, click on the "Bookmarks" tab, then "Employee Self-Service," "Personal Information," and "Address."

Please select the "Mailing Address" tab to verify your information is correct and make any necessary updates. This simple step will ensure your W-2 is mailed to the correct address.

Receive your W-2 electronically
If you prefer to access your W-2 electronically, Centura Health also offers W-2s online through ADP. Be sure to register on the ADP website by midnight MT on Thursday, Dec. 30, 2021 in order to receive your W-2 online

If you registered last year to receive your W-2 online, you do not need to register again. However, please confirm prior to Thursday, Dec. 30, 2021 that you are still able to sign in at www.w2.adp.com and that your account is set up for the paperless option. If you are new or have not registered in the past, please click here for instructions on how to create an account. You can also refer to this tip sheet for help accessing the site and resetting your password and user ID. For more details, including what to do if you’ve forgotten your password, go to www.w2.adp.com

Please note that if you elect to register online, you will NOT receive a paper W-2 in the mail (ADP electronic access allows users to print hard copies of their W-2 forms). If you do not register by the deadline, you will receive a paper W-2 in the mail.

No matter which option you choose, W-2s will be available online or mailed no later than Monday, Jan. 31, 2022.

Form 1095-C
The IRS requires all 1095-C (Employer-Provided Health Insurance Offer and Coverage) forms be postmarked by March 1, 2022. This form is mailed to all associates who were eligible to receive health coverage from Centura Health in 2021 and is part of the reporting requirements for employers and health insurance companies under the Affordable Care Act. This form will contain health insurance coverage information you may need to report as part of your income tax submission for the 2021 tax year.

You should receive your form by the required deadline at the address reflected in Lawson Employee Self-Service as of Dec. 23, 2021. Keep in mind, while information on the 1095-C may be helpful in preparing your tax return, it is not required to file your taxes. Like last year, you can prepare your tax return using other information to confirm your coverage. The 1095-C you receive from Centura Health is for your records only.

If you do not want to wait for the mailed copy, you may access this form online at www.w2.adp.com. This is the same site used to retrieve your electronic W-2. For full details on creating an account, including what to do if you have forgotten your password, visit www.w2.adp.com

W-2 questions?
Contact Payroll Support at 303-673-7000 or 888-622-1111, option 3, or email Payroll@centura.org.

1095-C questions?
