Assistance available to employees impacted by April 26 storms

A message from Steve Goeser, president and CEO of Methodist Health System

The storms that ripped through our communities Friday left a path of destruction that’s unimaginable, impacting our patients, our neighbors, our friends and, sadly, many in our Methodist family. 

Our human resources team, along with Methodist Hospital Foundation, Jennie Edmundson Foundation and Fremont Health Foundation stand ready to offer support to those in need, as well as a means for employees who want to assist. Our team at Best Care EAP is also available to provide support.

We know that the path ahead may be long and difficult for many in our organization. But we’ll be here for you in the days, weeks and months ahead. The Meaning of Care isn’t just about how we care for our communities. It’s also about the way we care for each other.
