Grey Nuns celebrate Grey Nuns prepares to celebrate 10 years of health care delivery In May, the Grey Nuns Community Hospital and Health Centre will be celebrating its 10th birthday. It's hard to believe this extension of Edmonton's first hospital, the Edmonton General, has already been established for 10 years. It seems like just yesterday the Grey Nuns was hosting its opening ceremonies with thousands of people attending an open house and a ceremonial walk with the staff from the General downtown to the new facility in Millwoods. A number of activities are planned for staff to celebrate this occasion including a traditional Birthday Party befitting any 10 year-old.
Staff are also welcome to bring their children in over the lunch hour for the festivities.
Night staff will be visited around midnight with cake delivered to their departments and units and will have a chance to enter the prize draws. Watch your inter-department mail and the site's bulletin boards for further details. Also, keep your eye out for a special 10th Birthday edition of 'Horizon' containing interesting trivia from 1988. If you'd like to get involved in the celebrations, contact Tadra at extension 7675 or send a birthday card to her in room 1706 at the Grey Nuns. The hospital's entrance will be lined with birthday greetings from our staff, patients and communities.
