Letter from the Editor

Colleagues,

Inside View recently celebrated its first anniversary, and I can tell you it’s been a busy and exciting year! In just six issues we featured more than 40 articles covering a wide range of topics, including:

• The opening of the BSRB;
• The 20th anniversary of UMHHC;
• Patient care and employee safety, such as articles on DART and safe patient handling;
• Medical School happenings, including MedBuddies, Match Day and the Dose of Reality blogs;
• Staff profiles and stories on employee resources, such as commuter options and FIGS funding; and
• Articles on Taking Care of Our Own, including how to handle conflict, fitting in fitness and creating your own “Blueprint for Wellness.”

In other news, Inside View received two awards in its inaugural year: an Apex Award for publication excellence; and a bronze Healthcare Advertising Award from Healthcare Marketing Report.

Thanks to everyone who helped make this first year a success—UMHS leadership, my team, all the readers and the IV Editorial Advisory Group!

I’d also like to remind all faculty and staff that this is your newsletter and I welcome your input. Do you know a staff member with a cool hobby, or who has an interesting job that few people know about? Have you seen an individual or team demonstrate one of our strategic principles? If so, please send these story ideas/ suggestions to insideview@umich.edu, or call 734-936-9745. Also, you can access all issues online in the “Past Issues” in the above navigation.

Here’s to year two!
