Humans of Partnership:

Partnership connects the dots and helps everyone understand why we are here. It gives us an opportunity to listen and solve problems together and it’s what makes us unique from other organizations. We come to work with a different heart when we work in partnership. It encourages employees to speak up regardless of position, have a deeper dedication to the work and improves morale. There are good days and bad days, but when we walk in the door at work, we all have a role. We are a family, doing the right thing for our patients. I tell my staff, when someone asks you what you do, you tell them ‘I save lives!’ because the hospital can’t run without you.

Nothing prepares you for the loss of a loved one. The pain never really goes away; it just changes from year to year. In 2011, I lost my boyfriend to suicide. I thought I was going to spend the rest of my life with him.  The feelings of grief and sadness were overwhelming. I felt anger, guilt and loss all at the same time. As I struggled to come to terms with the mental illness that led to his death, I had a lot of support from his family and mine. I accessed Kaiser Permanente's Employee Assistance Program and found compassion and insight that helped me come to terms with the loss. I also became more physically active. I joined a gym and started taking Zumba classes which was really fun. I’d ask friends to go on hikes and discovered new parks and trails around town. I also practiced meditation and became more introspective about my feelings. Some of my friends didn’t know what to say to me so they said nothing. I didn’t think they cared, but I realized I was wrong. They were just trying not to upset me. My advice is be kind to yourself, talk to a professional and stay busy. 

If you or someone you know is in distress, contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255. Telephonic crisis counseling is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Employees also can access Kaiser Permanente’s Employee Assistance Program.

The best part about the SEIU-UHW Joint Employer Education Fund was that I got to go to school full time. All of my benefits were taken care of. I was still employed by Kaiser Permanente, and my position was held for me. How could I pass on that? I felt like if I wasn’t succeeding, or needed help, I always had somebody to help me. In November 2017 I graduated from the medical assisting program, which is sponsored by the Ed Fund, KP, and the San Francisco Foundation. Now my future is filled with unlimited possibilities.

I’ve always had a passion for education and staff development. I’m a second-career registered nurse and I work as an adjunct faculty member teaching nursing at Southwestern College. As the director of education for the San Diego service area, I have an opportunity to impact employees’ professional development and career goals. In September 2017, I started an ambulatory care residency program for registered nurses. I helped with the overall design of the program, including interviewing candidates. Of the 14 residents, three were nurses for KP On Call. This program allowed them to come back to work in the clinical arena and was a super awesome way to get staff energized. It’s a good feeling to be able to do that.

Access to tuition reimbursement has allowed me the opportunity to go for my doctorate in organizational leadership. In one of my classes, I learned about positive psychology for leaders and how to help them become more resilient. I discuss this with employees and incorporate the concepts into my presentations to stewards and unit-based team health and safety champions. I feel very fortunate that the partnership and Kaiser Permanente value continuing education. I definitely would not be going for my doctorate right now if it weren’t for the educational funds. I also love the Ben Hudnall Memorial Trust. It offers me free continuing education so I’m able to maintain my credentials, which can also be very expensive. Being able to keep up my credentials at zero cost is amazing. You can’t beat that – it’s invaluable. There’s a website you can access for all these courses and it's free with the BHMT. It’s an untapped resource – I just learned about it last year.
