On Sept. 3, Penn Medicine Lancaster General Health employees and their guests attended this year’s Employee Appreciation Event at Clipper Stadium in Lancaster City. The event, which was held outside on the home field of Lancaster’s minor league baseball team, the Lancaster Barnstormers, provided an opportunity for employees to gather in-person and celebrate their commitment, passion, and best that each bring to work every day.
“The last 28 months have been some of the most challenging times in healthcare,” John J. Herman, Chief Executive Officer, Penn Medicine Lancaster General Health, said at the start of the event. “I’m grateful that we are able to come together today to celebrate you and your commitment to our community and each other.”
Penn Medicine Lancaster General Health’s last employee event was in 2019, so event organizers wanted to make sure this year’s event felt extra special.
“We themed this year’s event around acknowledge, reset and renew,” said Alexandra Jorgensen, Chief Human Resources and Organizational Effectiveness Officer. “We wanted to acknowledge the challenges of the last couple years, but also focus on moving forward with wellness activities and stations.”
