Dear Colleagues,

 

I’d like to invite you to join me and other senior leaders for a series of virtual town halls beginning next week.

 

While meeting face-to-face is preferable, following protocols to keep us all safe and healthy means we’ll be running these town halls as a Zoom Webinar. Login in details are below. Please note attendance will be limited to the first 500 individuals per webinar.

 

Among the topics I plan to discuss are our continued efforts around COVID-19, our recent Joint Commission Survey, our soon-to-be released three-year Strategic Plan and Annual Implementation Plan, our current finances and more. We will save ample time for live audience Q&A. If you would like to submit a question in advance, please do so at pubinfo@mmc.org and we will answer it during the next available town hall.

 

This has been an extraordinary year, and our successes have come thanks to the hard work of our amazing care team. Thank you all for your continued dedication to our mission, vision and values. I look forward to meeting with you next week to celebrate this work and look ahead.

At the very end are links to references with more information, in order by topic as they appear below.   Last week, the US FDA and US CDC issued approvals and recommendations for the updated fall 2023 COVID-19 vaccine. Everyone 6 months of age and older is recommended to receive the updated COVID-19 vaccine as well as an annual influenza vaccine. Both vaccines are updated and formulated to protect against the strains that are circulating and/or predicted to circulate this fall and winter.   One of the main lessons we’ve learned from the pandemic has been the importance of taking some simple steps during respiratory viral season, which is the fall and winter, when we more commonly see influenza, RSV, and other respiratory viruses.   Although we don’t fully know if COVID-19
