Let the Halloween Decorating Begin!

Our homegrown tradition of clinic Halloween decorating returns! It’s a testament to our Corporate Culture Value of Teamwork every year. 

There are two contests, sponsored by the Corporate Culture Committee.  

• Lobby decorating is a clinic-wide activity 
• Pumpkin decorating is to recognize individual spirit 

Lobby decorating 1st place winners will get free breakfast!  

There are 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place prizes for each division 😊

Judging happens on October 31st

Terry Reilly is tracking patient COVID and flu activity and sharing that information on the TR Intranet each week.

This data provides a snapshot so everyone can see what's happening in clinics. The information is not used as a basis for masking guidelines, those are based on CDC information for our region.

If you have tested positive for COVID or the flu, or have been in contact with someone who has tested positive, contact the Employee Health Nurse:

(208) 318-1332, employeehealth@trhs.org 

What is happening?

Safety is a priority at Terry Reilly for patients and staff.

Based, in part, on input from the employee survey, we are implementing a new emergency communications platform that adds on-screen alerts, emails, and other notifications to the current overhead and desktop audio system.

The new emergency communications platform allows us to create customized messages for Shelter in Place or Facility Lockdown emergencies.

The application will also have a “panic button” feature so staff can trigger Code Grey or Code Silver alerts if they don’t have access to make calls or if other circumstances prevent normal code-calling procedures.



When does this become effective?

We are training clinic staff through the end of the year.

What does this mean to me?

Please watch for emails and alerts. We will schedule visits at each clinic for training and to answer any questions.

What is the Behavioral Health Triage Line?

This is an internal triage line available to all TRHS employees who may need assistance in facilitating extra care to patients experiencing a mental health crisis.

Access this resource on the TR Intranet Home Page (Sharepoint) by clicking the Triage tile. There is a list of who to call and the hours available.

I am one of the staff members covering the triage line. I'm here to help all TR employees complete a warm handoff for any patient experiencing significant emotional distress during their interactions with you. They might have an urgent BH need, or exhibit any level of SI/HI (Suicidal Ideation/Homicidal Ideation).

During the call, we will assess the patient’s risk of harm, collaboratively outline a safety plan, and coordinate the transition of care, whether that be a higher level of care or an urgent internal referral to the BH department or psych medication management.

How can I best support you?



I’m here to be a bridge in assisting the patient through the process of receiving or transitioning to an appropriate level of care. I assist in coordinating urgent care and provide consistent contact with patients with needs that require more consistent follow-up from the BH team while they may be on our waitlist for services.

I’m not a licensed clinician, but I can de-escalate/stabilize patients in this setting and provide ongoing support in their journey towards getting connected to BH care. It is important that patients have consistent and reliable support in this process as it can be very difficult or daunting to navigate independently while also experiencing a mental health crisis. 

About me:



I graduated in 2022 with a BA in Human Services from California State University- Dominguez Hills, and am currently completing a Master of Social Work program at Boise State University.

I have experience ranging from crisis care, domestic violence and family reunification, serious and persistent mental illness, and SUD populations. I first gained experience in crisis care while working at an emergency shelter for women and children who have experienced domestic violence and/or human trafficking. Since then, I've completed training provided by the Crisis Prevention Institute, Los Angeles Housing Authority, ASIST, and other modules specific to mental health emergencies. I am very passionate about suicide prevention and assisting individuals in accessing appropriate and quality care.

In my spare time, I can usually be found working on music or spending time outdoors with my dog, Lennon. I also try to prioritize traveling and crossing things off my bucket list, which most recently was bungee jumping in Whistler, BC.

Each year, Terry Reilly employees are asked to participate in a performance evaluation. Identifying key strengths and opportunities for professional growth is part of our larger strategy to invest in and retain employees. 

This process is done electronically and will be delivered through our ADP Workforce Now platform. 

You will have the opportunity to submit a self-evaluation for your supervisor to consider and incorporate into your final review. 

Your manager will then schedule time to discuss the evaluation and establish upcoming goals. Employees hired after July 1 are typically exempt until the following year. 

Watch for an email soon from our HR department with detailed instructions.   

TR Team Showcase

Winter volleyball season is almost here!

Terry Reilly co-ed teams will once again compete in the Meridian Parks and Rec Department program. Matches are played in Meridian.

Interested? Email Elwin Portillo by October 13th.

Pictured: Savannah D'Orazio, Jasaira Beeks, and Nanci Paz Heredia at a match in February.

Terry Reilly's Clinical Practice Team volunteered for Boise Parks and Recreation to refurbish and paint 13 picnic tables at Willow Lane Athletic Complex in Boise.



Thank you for giving back to our community!

Terry Reilly Training Coordinator Erica Mendez delivered apples and student program information to every location (seen here handing the package to Florence Practice Manager Marie Clark).

Since 2020, 275 students have completed nearly 45,000 preceptor (mentoring/training) hours.

It’s part of our commitment to workforce development, and hopefully, even if students don’t stay with Terry Reilly post-training, they’ll take with them a little piece of our mission of providing affordable, accessible, comprehensive care to meet the needs of the community.

I started with TR in March 2020, working in Patient Financial Services as a Billing Specialist II. I oversee all commercial billing, workman's comp, and motor vehicle accidents, and provide billing information for patients' legal counsel.

Before I came to Terry Reilly, I worked for a very large anesthesia group, billing commercial and Medicare claims.

First and foremost, I love working with our patients, helping them navigate the nuances of insurance, and providing support for anything else they may need.

My values strongly align with TR’s core values, and I am proud to be a part of such an amazing company! And the coolest thing about my location is the people 😊

Outside of work, I enjoy cooking, gardening, and puzzles.

Fun fact about me: I am an excellent cook. Try my favorite appetizer recipe, below.

Honey for drizzling - I used a few tablespoons

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

2. Slice the baguette into 1/2" pieces and arrange on a baking sheet. Use a pastry brush to lightly coat both sides of each piece with olive oil. Sprinkle the tops with salt.
