Community

Help fight the critical Summer shortage by signing up to donate!

There is a critical need for Blood and as an incentive the American Red Cross is providing a $5 e-gift card for all who present to donate.  Make sure your email is on file.

The next drive at Riverside is on Thursday, June 30 from 10 am-4 pm in the Johnson Lecture Hall.

If you are eligible to donate at the June 30 drive please contact Alison Paglin by email or at Ext 31825 for an appointment or log onto www.redcrossblood.org. (Appointments are required.)  Additional drives in the area are also available if the drive at Riverside does not work into your schedule. 

Also, check out the Rapid Pass registration system to shorten your wait time the day of donation.    www.redcrossblood.org/RapidPass

Please contact Alison Paglin, Laboratory Manager, with questions.

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.
