Laura Werbner: Hello, and welcome to this episode of the Compass Podcast. I am Laura Werbner, your Marketing and Communications Manager. Today we are highlighting something we're really proud of here at San Juan Regional Medical Center, and that's our two podcasts. We have the Compass Podcast, which you're listening to right now, and also Celebrate Health Podcast.

Both of these podcasts are designed to help you stay connected, informed, and inspired. Whether you're one of our caregivers or a member of our community, we've got a podcast for everyone.

So let's start with our Compass podcast. This is our internal facing podcast that's created exclusively for you, our incredible caregivers. Every Friday we feature a new episode with voices from across our organization. We have our staff, we also have community members. We even have local business owners, and they're all here for you to share informative, engaging, and positive stories. In these podcasts, you'll hear conversations that help you stay connected to what's happening throughout our organization, and also conversations that offer ideas to support your wellbeing, both while you're here at work and while you're at home.

Some recent examples include our Chief Operating Officer Rachel Skoog, who talked about her leadership journey that both started and brought her back to our organization. Pharmacy Assistant Director Stephanie Allen told us about her 100 Mile Ultra Marathon and the lessons she learned along the way.

We've had multiple community episodes sharing information on everything like the first T Four Corners program to unlocking the power of art for your wellbeing, the grief and healing process, and that's just to name a few. We've had so many amazing community members connect with us and want to connect with you by sharing more information about either organizations they run or events they're part of, or businesses they have, just to tell you about things happening in our community because we as a community hospital are our community, and really it's a great thing for us to be able to connect with the rest of our community in this way through these podcasts. So you can think of the Compass Podcast as your weekly dose of inspiration, teamwork, and connection all in one place. So where is that one place you may be wondering? That's what I'm getting to next. How do I listen to the Compass Podcast? We try to make it as easy for you as possible, because we know you're busy, you've got a lot going on. You don't need to be searching for this. We are here to bring it directly to you. So every Friday I send out an email with a link to our podcast page.

Our newest podcast is always going to be right at the top, and it will also be featured under Spotlight on the homepage of the intranet. But once you're on that podcast page, you can click through and listen to any of our more than 200 podcasts we have there. There are so many topics, things you may have missed in the past, things you never even saw.

So I really encourage you to go and explore on that site and see what there is, hear what there is to hear. You can also find every episode directly by going to our employee intranet, SGRMC Connect, and as I mentioned, once you're on that homepage, in the right hand corner on the spotlight section, you'll always find our Compass podcast right there. But we are trying to make it even easier than that for you. So for even more convenience, you can listen anytime, anywhere from your phone. All you have to do is text SJRMC to 844-979-3253 to opt in. You'll get a link right to your phone so you never miss an episode.

We text those links out again every Friday. You can opt in by texting SJRMC to 844-979-3253. We would also love to feature you, so if you have a great story to share, if you have an idea for an episode, you want to record a podcast yourself, you always wanted to hear your own voice on the radio, this is your chance.

Reach out to me. You can email me lwerbner@sjrmc.net. We really would just love to hear from you. This is your podcast. The Compass Podcast is about our caregivers. It's about your voices, your experiences, your ideas. So please share yours with us and we'll share it with everybody else.

Now we're going to pivot and talk about our second podcast, which is called Celebrate Health. This one is for our broader community. So it is of course, for all of you, our caregivers, but it's also for anybody else out there in the Four Corners, and really anybody else out there anywhere who's looking for the health information we have to share. Celebrate Health features interviews with our physicians, specialists, offering expert insight on a wide range of health topics.

There's wellness and prevention. There's disease awareness. Also treatments. We like to say that Celebrate Health brings our medical experts straight to you with no appointment necessary. It's another great way to learn more about the incredible care and innovation happening right here at San Juan Regional Medical Center.

Recent guests featured on Celebrate Health include Dr. Rob Klein talking about the advantages of using urgent care, Dr. Brian Fuller, explaining radiation therapy and how it works. And Dr. Philip Earnest discussing the different options patients have with medical and surgical weight loss. This podcast is also very easy to listen to, and we have a couple different ways you can do that.

One is to go directly to our website, SanJuanregional.com/podcast, and there you'll find the entire listing of all of our podcasts. Or you can also search for Celebrate Health on the services you already use to listen to podcasts. Those would include Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, iHeart, Pandora, and Tune In.

So whether you're tuning in for personal growth, professional development, or just to stay connected, we have got you covered. Be sure to check out the Compass Podcast every Friday and share your ideas for future episodes. Make sure you send those to me. I would love to get you on our podcast. And then don't forget to tell your friends and family, and also check it out for yourself about our Celebrate Health Podcast available on all of your favorite podcasting platforms, and also our website, Sanjuanregional.com.

Together we are continuing to strengthen our culture of connection, wellness, and community, one story at a time. I'm Laura Werbner and thank you for listening to this podcast about podcasts.
