Holiday greetings to all you neuro nurses!
'Tis the season of hustle and bustle ... running around, trying to get the holiday shopping done. Well, if you live in or around the St. Louis area, the holiday season may be a little more challenging.
US Interstate 64 (local Missouri Highway 40) is undergoing a major overhaul. The I-64 corridor provides access to some of the region’s most vibrant business, shopping, cultural and entertainment districts. It is considered one of the primary transportation routes in the Midwest.
Highlights of The New I-64 project include:
The rebuilding and upgrading of all pavement, bridges and interchanges for over 6 miles of the interstate
New high quality interstate-to-interstate connection of major area highways
Barnes-Jewish Hospital is extremely sensitive to how this construction will impact its employees. Part of the employee focus includes:
Gathering information from employees about their commute. Starting the conversation early in the process, in order to have time to consider and implement coping strategies
Consider if flex hours or tele-commuting can be accommodated within our business needs
Accommodating car-pooling, where possible
Asking employees what will help them deal with the closures. They may have suggestions that can be adopted easily
Ensuring that all employees get the weekly email updates concerning traffic impacts, so that they stay aware and informed
Working with our employees to make sure that customer and patient contacts about the closures remain upbeat and focused on problem solving
With the construction affecting the entire St. Louis area, Barnes-Jewish Hospital encourages you to use the resources available on the BJH website (below) to help you find your way through the construction. We would also love you to visit the campus.
Don't let the construction -- or the holidays -- keep you from remembering the most important thing .... taking care of people. That's what the holidays are all about. That's what LIFE is all about: taking care of family, friends, those who need our special care -- like patients.
Be a part of the Excellence in Patient Care at Barnes-Jewish Hospital. Be a part of the best neurosurgical team in the world. Make a difference. Help take exceptional care of people.
