The Alaska Goldpanners recently visited the Denali Center for a Thursday cookout! The boys of summer spent time playing games and visiting with residents before enjoying a fabulous meal prepared by the FHP Culinary & Nutrition Services Team. The menu included: smoked baby-back ribs, chicken, tofu, zucchini and corn on the cob; all from the grill. There was also homemade mac-n-cheese and bread pudding, watermelon and of course, a lot of smiles! If was a wonderful afternoon, and we thank the Goldpanners for taking the time to visit! Activities like this enhance the positive atmosphere at Denali Center and go a long way in keeping our residents socially active.

We kicked off with a 3-day workshop focused on developing essential soft skills for professional success and healthcare across cultures. Throughout June, interns will immerse themselves in their assigned departments, working 10-15 hours per week. This year's workshops will spotlight ICU, SPD, Surgical Services, Radiation Oncology, and the Cath Lab. This marks our 4th year hosting these bright minds and we're proud that 13 former interns have chosen to return as FHP employees.
