Case Management Week is coming!!!
Case Management Treat cart at Salem Health---
The Case managers at Salem Health will be distributing gift bags to all case management staff with "treats" during CM week (October 13-18). If any of the vendors would like to donate any "treats" for the care managers at that time that would be allowed as this would be for all of the department to share. The hospital recommends- if vendors choose donate their items, they should be shared by all, rather than to bring a single gift basket to the floor. When things are brought to the individual floors, not all staff can appreciate your gift, and it may be disruptive to their jobs at the time you visit.
Retirement Connection has donated the bags for case management staff, and these will be filled with any goodies then delivered to EVERY case management staff member.
There are 80 staff members in the department. We understand that not everyone can contribute a huge item to 80 people, so do what is best for your company- or simply send 80 hand written thank you cards.
Here are some suggestions from me:
(just to give you ideas)
- A donation to Salem Hospital Foundation- Care Management Fund and a card
- 80 hand written notes of appreciation
- 20 x $5 starbucks gift cards
- 40 granola bars with your sticker on the back
- 20 travel coffee mugs filled with jolly ranchers
- Ideas may be: chocolate, granola bars, smoothy packets, etc.. Feel free to add a sticker or business card to your "treats". The treats may be individually wrapped or in a bag that can be divided up later.
Try to include at least 20 of an item please!
Drop off items- October 8th, at the Salem Health Vendor Fair or Case Management office if you wish to participate.
