Take Your Child to Work Day—BGH Style!

Brockville—November 2nd is National Take Your Child to Work Day, an event that many hospital staff cannot share due to due to clinical restrictions. The BGH Workplace Wellness Committee came up with a new solution—posters by staff family members that depict what the children think their parents or grandparents look like at their work.

“We wanted a way to celebrate the children of our staff, and the connection between them and the work their parents do,” explains Thomas Hanson, BGH staff and Wellness Committee member. “It is not possible for most of our staff to bring their children in to the hospital to see firsthand.”

Admiring some of the posters created and on display at BGH are Wellness Committee members Adonica Keddy (left) and Thomas Hanson. The Take Your Child to Work Day—BGH Style! event is part of a Year of Celebration hosted by the Wellness Committee to highlight and share the positive elements in the lives of BGH staff.
