This Thanksgiving, we would like to take a moment to demonstrate our gratitude and thank each of our clinical and corporate team members for your hard work and dedication to our organization over this past year.

We are proud that the HWS organization is made up of such great associates who work hard each day, creating both career opportunities for healthcare professionals and ensuring the delivery of patient care across the country.  We are all part of something so much bigger than our ourselves and the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of others every day is something we all should be truly grateful for.

Congratulations to Janine Seftel, RN, on earning a DAISY Award! Janine is the Assistant Nurse Manager for the Emergency Department at Methodist Specialty and Transplant Hospital in San Antonio, Texas.

Janine is a former HealthTrust Workforce Solutions (HWS) nurse who currently works for HCA Healthcare, of which HWS is a fully-owned subsidiary. She was nominated for the DAISY Award by HWS Division Vice President Randall Garcia for going above and beyond to mentor a per diem nurse who had the desire to work in the Emergency Department but did not yet have the experience: 

HealthTrust team members in our Sunrise corporate office raised more than $2,000 to support local veterans! Our Finance Shared Services team organized a series of fundraisers to support the United Way of Broward County's MISSION UNITED, which provides support to veterans and their families as they transition into civilian life. 

Today we celebrate Veterans Day in honor of the 22+ million men and women who have served in the United States military, especially the many among us now working as corporate and clinical employees within the HealthTrust Workforce Solutions family. Thank you to all of the courageous individuals who put their lives in harm's way to protect our country and ensure the freedoms that Americans embrace each and every day.
