Great God in Heaven, we are

grateful for all of Your blessings.

Thank You for preparing some-

thing better for all to look forward

to after this life. Today, we ask

You to keep us safe from those who

would be angry or seek to harm

us, as we try to help patients get well. As our world

grows more violent, we pray You help us to be calm

and busy with tasks You have made us able to

fulfill in order to save lives and heal wounds. Bless

us to get along well as part of the staff of OMC, so

that we come together as a team with one objective

- to bless Your name and be a blessing to all those

looking to us for help. We pray this prayer in jesus’

name, Amen.

Weekly Prayer brought to you

by the OMC Chaplains

Organizational ChangesI wanted to let everyone know about some changes that will occur with the Senior Leader-ship Team. As all of you know, Pam Lee (Chief Operating Officer) resigned a few weeks ago. Pam has taken a position in New York.

I have asked Kurt Abbey to assume the role of Chief Op-erating Officer. Kurt has been a key member of the Senior Leadership Team for the past few years and has brought much to OMC. The role of Chief Operating Officer is also going to change.

Traditionally and in most orga-nizations, the Chief Operating Officer assumes the leadership role for both nursing, ancillary and support areas. As a result, Kurt will continue as Chief Nursing Officer as well as take on some of the ancillary and support departments. Kurt will also be second in charge after me.Over the next week or so, I’ll have more information about additional changes to the orga-nizational structure. You will know as soon as I do. In the meantime, please feel free to reach out to Kurt or me if you have questions.My goal remains to ensure we continue to move OMC forward for patients and for each OMC co-worker…to be exceptional for patients and each other.Please congratulate Kurt on his expanded role.
