Staff Meeting and Interim CEO Introduction
On September 30th, Clive BH staff had multiple options for attending a staff meeting where Interim CEO Jeff Herman was able to introduce himself and provide various updates on plans for Clive BH's stability and growth moving forward. Jeff informed staff of his background with UHS, as an RN, and as current Group CEO for UHS and CEO at Prairie St. John in Fargo, ND. Jeff shared with us that Prairie St. John's JoDee Eckart, Director of Nursing, and Ryan Haun, head of IT, will provide us with interim coverage in their respective areas until those positions are filled here at Clive BH. Both Jeff and JoDee will be onsite most days of the week and Ryan will be available remotely with an occasionally onsite visit.
We were also encouraged to complete the Culture of Safety Survey (see next article). If 70% or more of Clive BH staff complete the survey we will get a smoked BBQ team meal prepared by Jesus!
Welcome Jeff, JoDee and Ryan!

Mask Wearing Continues...Always Wear a Mask | |
REMINDER: We continue to follow CDC guidelines for healthcare workers. All employees entering the hospital must be wearing a surgical mask (not cloth). All employees working in patient areas must be wearing a surgical mask (not cloth) at all times. Review the policy #9153047 via the PolicyStat link (https://uhsinc.sharepoint.com/sites/CliveBH) available via work computer home screens.
Surgical masks are distributed through the Nursing Department and some break rooms. They can be used for up to 5 days unless mask has become soiled, damaged, or otherwise ineffective. Staff members should notify the Nursing Supervisor of a need to replace their surgical mask as soon as possible so timely replacement can be arranged.
Failure to comply to this policy may result in disciplinary action up to and including termination.
