As the New Year approached, I wanted to reflect on past accomplishments. The year 2016 was wonderful for Sun Health employees. We reaped the benefits of a healthy staff, which allowed leadership to improve benefits without increasing employee costs. We listened to employee feedback and embarked upon a comprehensive analysis of the IT network, systems and tools necessary for our staff to be successful. We embraced the motto “Live Long, Die Short” from Masterpiece Living®, and embedded it into our employee orientation, wellness programs and daily job responsibilities. Lastly, we celebrated the outstanding efforts of our staff, and staff longevity with more than 500 years of combined service, during our annual employee awards event.
We recognize the importance of looking forward, too. I believe 2017 will be even more amazing. Sun Health will continue expanding employee recognition for outstanding performance.
Sun Health will also continue to provide higher paying jobs and career growth in the West Valley. For young adults beginning to explore career options, Sun Health is developing relationships with local school districts, colleges and career programs to provide internship opportunities, as well as insights into skills necessary for future success.
Finally, Sun Health employees will expand community outreach efforts by continuing to donate time, supplies and money helping other nonprofits achieve their missions.
Our employees are the best an organization could hope for. With every visit to our campuses, charitable events, or any other interaction, we hope you will agree.

Vice President of Human Resources and Organizational Development Sun Health Senior Living
