This year, Christmas and New Year’s Day occur on Wednesdays and are designated holidays. In addition to Dec. 25, 2019 and Jan. 1, 2020, President Ray Watts and Health System CEO Will Ferniany have decided to observe additional holidays to provide employees additional time to spend with their families and friends. We will also follow this lead in the Department of Pediatrics, however, DOP clinics will be OPEN on Monday, Dec. 23, 2019 to serve our patients. Please see below how this will impact your Workgroup.
