All Employee Celebration
Just when you think the celebrations are over – another one pops up. Despite the steamy forecast, over 5,300 employees and family members turned up for the 26th Annual Softball Tournament and Barbecue on Saturday, August 6th at Mitchel Field. As the kids jumped around the bouncy house, adults showed off their skills at Softball, tug-of-war, the potato sack race, egg tossing, and a three-legged race. If competition was not in your blood you were able to take a stroll through the 7 Wonders of the World, located on the track in the middle of Mitchel Field. The afternoon was highlighted around 12:30 p.m. with a special recognition presentation by President and CEO, Michael Dowling. Mr. Dowling raffled off trips to 14 lucky Wellness Warriors*.
Kudos go out to our 54 softball teams for surviving a full day of softball, heat and humidity. Special kudos go out to Team Talent (co-ed division) and The Clippers (all male division) for being this year’s champions!
Recognizing employees for taking care of their health and wellness through physical activity and awareness is a major initiative for Northwell Health. Be sure to take advantage of the many celebrations and programs our organization offers you to better balance your work and life – it’s all about taking care of you!
*If you completed two out of the three wellness challenges on the myWellness platform you were deemed as one of 1,106 Wellness Warriors. Out of the pool, Mr. Dowling drew 100 finalists. 14 of those finalists will soon be traveling to a real Wonder of the World! Much more excitement to come for our 2016/17 Wellness Warriors!
