TMAC Trivia Challenge: June

TMAC_Logo

Today, members of the Team Member Appreciation Committee (TMAC) visited the School Based Health Center (SBHC) at Schertz Elementary as part of the ongoing recruitment efforts for 2012 membership. The theme of the visit? Summer! Summer is here and what better way to celebrate than pulling out your favorite pair of sunglasses and cooling down over ice cream with your colleagues?!

This visit also marks the first in the series of the TMAC Trivia Challenge. The TMAC Trivia Challenge offers team members the opportunity to learn more about Methodist Healthcare Ministries and the important role TMAC plays within the organization. For the remainder of the year, on a monthly basis, TMAC members will visit various MHM facilities to personally issue the TMAC Trivia Challenge question of the month. On-site team members will have first exposure to the question of the month, however the challenge is open to all MHM team members.

We hope this is a fun and exciting way to test your MHM knowledge while discovering fun facts about the organization. As a committee, TMAC works hard to ensure team members are satisfied with life at MHM. We look forward to hearing your answers!

Without further ado, here is the June TMAC Trivia Challenge question: 

What is the name of the Mariachi and Cultural Arts program operated at the Wesley Health & Wellness Center?

Wesley Nurse Health Ministries: I am Excellence

In preparation for the Wesley Nurse Health Ministries™ (WNHM) May Quarterly Meeting, the WNHM administrative team met to discuss ideas on how to help ensure all remote team members felt a part of the 2011 I am Excellence campaign.  While a large majority of Wesley Nurses participated in the official Feedback for Excellence kick-off event via WebEx in April, we wanted to make sure all of the Wesley Nurses had the opportunity to experience the I am Excellence campaign in-person while convened for the May Quarterly Meeting in San Antonio.

 

To assist, we recruited the help of Judith Arrington, Wesley Nurse at Bethany UMC in San Antonio, who is especially skilled at creating eye-catching flyers and promotional items for her programs.  During a brainstorming session with Judith and the WNHM administrative team, we came up with the idea of incorporating the I am Excellence campaign into a table decorating exercise. Wesley Nurses were presented with the challenge to create a table display unique to their region, programs and community, drawing from the 2011 Feedback For Excellence campaign theme.

 

The instructions were simple: teams were provided with their table specifications, asked to create a short personal biography, and had an allowance of up to $10 to decorate with. The results, however, far exceeded all expectations.

 

We are happy to share this table tour video featuring the imagination, creativity, and hard work of our entire WNHM team. Enjoy!

 

Meld Growing Families Celebrates Mother’s Day

Meld Growing Families Celebrates Mother's Day

The Meld Support Group, coordinated by Lauri Revilla, met at the Wesley Health & Wellness Center last Wednesday to celebrate Mother's Day. As part of the celebration, fresh roses were distributed to program participants while they shared in their accomplishments and reflected on their experience as caregivers over lunch.   

 

Meld for Growing Families is part of the Meld program and is an extension of the Young Moms program, for mothers ages 26 and older as well as grandparents raising grandchildren. The curriculum focuses on age-appropriate child development techniques; managing outside influences on children's lives; living situations; violence; and balancing work and family life optimal health and well-being.

 

The core philosophy of the Meld program stems from the belief that parents can, and do: learn from each other; give one another support; need to be free to make informed decisions about their families; and can cooperate in groups while maintaining their individuality.

 

We are happy for the opportunity to celebrate in the successes of all our program participants on this special day of observance and look forward to many more celebrations to come! 

 

TMAC May Update

TMAC May Meeting

 

The Team Member Appreciation Committee (TMAC) convened Friday, May 6 to gear up for the upcoming MHM Family Day being hosted at Sea World of San Antonio on Saturday, May 14, 2011. MHM Family Day is our way of saying thank you to all of our team members and their families for supporting the important work we do for our community.

 

Our committee is hard at work to ensure the ease and success of this event. We are putting the final touches on the remaining details and look forward to a day of fun with the MHM team and family members.

 

Also covered in Friday's meeting, was reflection on the MHM Night with the Spurs event last month. On Saturday, April 9th, MHM'ers and family joined avid Spurs fans at the AT&T Center to support the home team in the victory against the Utah Jazz.  Those that took part in the event were able to enjoy Terrace Suite level seats, a food voucher good for 1 hot dog, chips and a soda. Along with the Spurs victory, TMAC is proud to announce that all of the tickets designated for this event sold out. Thanks to the diligent work of the members of TMAC, we were able to secure an exceptional discount ticket rate in sponsoring this event. We look forward to cheering on the Spurs at our next Night Out!
