Each year, during their birthday month, employees are invited to celebrate at a YNHH birthday forum. At each event, hosted by President Richard D'Aquila and members of the hospital's leadership team, guests view a video with a Yale New Haven theme designed to share information about selected hospital services, programs and initiatives. Hospital leaders also share information and updates and answer employees' questions.

As the hospital begins to prepare for the next video that will debut in mid-2016, we want to hear from you to find out what type of videos you would like to see and what information you would like shared at the birthday celebrations.

If you are interested in sharing your opinion, please participate in a YNHH Birthday Video Focus Group. Focus group sessions are scheduled for 3:30 pm Tuesday, Feb. 2, and 8 am Friday, Feb. 5 at the YSC; and 3:30 pm Thursday, Feb. 4 at the SRC. Each session will last approximately one hour.

Reservations are required. If interested in participating, please contact the Marketing and Communications Department, [email protected], no later than Wednesday, Jan. 20. If you are selected, you will need your manager's approval to attend.
