PUTNAM — Day Kimball Healthcare (DKH) administration hosted a staff appreciation barbecue. The event was held in conjunction with DKH’s 125th anniversary and National Hospital Week.
Every year, DKH joins hospitals across the country to celebrate National Hospital Week; a week dedicated to appreciation of healthcare employees and their service. DKH is the region’s largest employer with more than 1,000 staff including nearly 300 associated, physicians, surgeons and specialists.
“Healthcare roles are very demanding, and we often neglect doing basic things for ourselves, like taking a break to enjoy a meal with our colleagues,” said DKH President and CEO Anne Diamond.
“We’re delighted to have established a new relationship with Foxwoods Resort Casino and the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation, and most appreciative that they came out today in support of our 125th anniversary and staff appreciation day,” said DKH Director of Development Kristen Willis. “Foxwoods is generously sponsoring DKH’s Employee of the Month Program and they felt this was another way in which they could show their appreciation for the people that serve within the northeastern Connecticut community.”
DKH also hosted the NECT Chamber Business After Hours event and at the reception, an original oil painting, commissioned for the anniversary was unveiled. The painting, a depiction of the original Day Kimball Hospital Pomfret Street building, commemorates the Hospital’s history, culture, and growth. It was created and donated by local artist Lisa Andrews. The painting will be displayed in the Visitor’s Entrance of Day Kimball Hospital.
