Teammates

Advocate Health is honored to have dedicated teammates who not only take care of our patients, but each other. We appreciate everything that you do, and we’re proud to work alongside you. During Teammate Appreciation Week, we shined the spotlight on you. YOU deserve it!

Teammate Appreciation Week took place Saturday, Aug. 19 through Friday, Aug. 25, 2023. Teammates across the organization celebrated by posing in the virtual photo booth, sending eCards to each other, being showered with gifts, enjoying tasty treats and meals with their teammates, winning special prizes, getting some love from some furry friends or taking advantage of great discounts.

Here’s a look at some of the fun ways teammates celebrated across all the regions during the week:
