Edinburg, Texas-based Driscoll Children's Hospital Rio Grande Valley will use a $1 million fund to create a workforce retention program, including monetary incentives for staff.
Four notes:
1. In addition to monetary incentives, the funds will support employee learning and personal development opportunities, according to a Nov. 19 news release.
2. With a focus on improving patient care, the gift will enable Driscoll to reward and recognize top employees.
3. The 119-bed hospital opened in May in the Rio Grande Valley, a region historically challenged by healthcare recruitment and retention, the release said.
4. The Robert & Laurie Lozano Family "Life Currency" Endowment was established through donations from the Lozano family, Driscoll Children's Hospital Development Foundation and F&P Brands.
