Last Thursday, more than 700 Rex Healthcare coworkers took a short break outside, joined hands and formed a human chain more than half a mile long around the hospital.
Then they hugged the hospital.
“Hug Rex Day!” celebrated Rex being named as one of the nation’s 100 Best Places to Work by Modern Healthcare Magazine. Rex was the only North Carolina hospital to win that honor.
In showing their appreciation for Rex, many coworkers also reinforced the importance of Rex’s partnership with the UNC Health Care System by wearing “Rex [heart symbol] UNC” T-shirts and “No Wake Zone” pins.
These “No Wake Zone” t-shirts were a great idea, I hope it continues so that Wake Med and the NC State Govenment get the idea…
