What’s Happening
Welcome to the new “What’s Happening”
We’ve redesigned it to make it easier for you. This is your place to learn news about your colleagues and get information about benefits, Culture of Wellness classes and upcoming events.
Sparkling memories
Hospital colleagues, including Lesley Zakos, and community members gathered to remember loved ones during the recent Tree of Life Celebration at the Kasych Family Pavilion. The highlight: the lighting of a symbolic tree adorned with lights purchased in honor or memory of family members or former colleagues. Proceeds benefit Lehigh Valley Hospice.
New place for good eats
When renovations begin on the new LVH–Cedar Crest cafeteria, colleagues can use the temporary eatery being built in the former Anderson Pavilion library and ECC space. The new cafeteria will open in August and feature a larger menu and more seats.
HIV testing 101
Prevention specialist Dinnette Medina (left) and tester Deborah Morris (seated) show the simplicity of a rapid HIV test to (from left) Melissa Pina, Brenda Green, L.P.N., and Sicilia Kleppinger. AIDS Activities Office colleagues recently instructed caregivers about HIV risks and testing at LVH–17th and Chew, hoping to increase routine HIV testing.
Baby on board
Technical partner Terry Wieder (left) explains to nurse anesthetist Michael Hartman (right) why you won’t get a proper fit if you put a blanket under a baby when in a car seat. The mother-baby unit’s display—one of 14 posters and 15 interactive displays at the Patient Safety Fest—won the top prize of $300 to be used toward a patient safety initiative on the unit.

 E-learning: A Classroom at Your Fingertips
Learning will soon be just a click away. Starting July 1, the Division of Education will introduce Lehigh Valley Hospital and Health Network eLearning. Colleagues can enroll in online learning activities and register for in-person training sessions via the SSO Toolbar (right) on your computer. This new on-demand system will help you expand your knowledge base and stay up to date on new protocols and regulations. The system will replace the annual DeMedici training, OneStaff Education
Record and CME Tracker. It also will provide one centralized system for training records and registration. Look for more information about e-learning later this spring.
She referred her spouse
Part-time cardiac float pool nurse Carina Messenlehner, R.N., knew her husband, Dan, a pharmacist, wanted to grow professionally. She submitted his name to our Employee Referral Program, and he got the job. “It’s a pleasure to work in an open, friendly environment alongside an impressive staff,” he says. Not only are the Messenlehners happy to receive the referral bonus, they’re glad to have excellent health benefits for their newborn twins.
Do you know someone who has what it takes to work here? If so, learn more about our Employee Referral Program on the human resources Web site at lvh.com or call 610-402-LVHR (5847).
