PAS/PFS Week 2007
It’s been almost a year and a few months since I started working for Sharp HealthCare, in the Patient Financial Services department. Back when I first started, I was overwhelmed by the amount of learning I had before me, and I was diligently taking notes on everything little thing.
Within a few months, there came a week for the people in my department: PFS Week. It’s actually both PAS and PFS week, Patient Access Services and Patient Financial Services. I didn’t know who too many people were back then, but I think it was probably out PAS/PFS Vice President, Gerilynn, having them out, and verbally thanking each employee for the work they do.
This year the items were already on desks before anyone came in. I don’t know how other years prior were. I can imagine it must have taken some time for Gerilynn to sign her name on the package to every items for all PAS and PFS staff. The item came in a yellow package similar in shape and style to Chinese takeout containers.
And inside? I nice, lil’ tote bag.
Last year’s PAS/PFS Week gift was a lunch container, which I haven’t actually used yet. What can I say? I usually take a box of crackers to work. Maybe I’ll take it with me to any non-work events I go to, to show off “Sharp”.
Last December, each desk had a Christmas tree ornament on it.
It feels nice to get little goodies here and there. Not only is Gerilynn a terrific Vice President of PAS and PFS, and a wonderful person, she knows little things over time really add up to something big. I’m glad to work for Sharp HealthCare in the PFS department. Now I need only to actually make use of these items!
