Together Serving Our Community

April 22nd, 2022
Community

This year, the American Nurses Association has moved away from Nurses Week and created Nurses Month. May 2022 is the chosen month with the theme “Nurses Make a Difference.” Here at Riverside, we acknowledge how all employees make a difference and are giving everyone an opportunity to participate in the month’s activities. May 22-31 is focused on Community Engagement.

One opportunity for employees is to participate in the Bradley Police Department I Got Your Six 5K on May 22, 2022. The first 50 Riverside employees who submit a copy of their registration will receive a special edition Riverside First Responder T-shirt.

Register to run or walk the 5K at https://www.igotyoursix5k.com/.

Please submit a copy of your registration to Erika Ohlendorf at [email protected]. Include your shirt size preference – sizes will be first come first serve so size is not guaranteed.
