The contest encouraged improved team unity and appreciation of the unique journeys we all travel by prompting staff to learn more about their co-workers. Participants reached out to their colleagues to ask a variety of questions related to their background, heritage and life experiences to complete the bingo cards. The winners receive special Office of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) giveaways. Thanks to everyone who participated in the contest. We hope it offered a fun and enlightening addition to the Hospital Week celebrations.
