Our accounts receivable team likes to celebrate holidays. We’re talking every holiday. They recently planned to have a get-together for National Junk Food Day. They started talking the day before about bringing in junk food to celebrate, but they wanted to up the ante; the food had to be even junkier than usual. Someone mentioned a deep fryer, and it took off from there. Corporate collections specialist Cody West and A/R customer relations specialist Miguel Martinez found a recipe for batter online, and West picked up Twinkies, Swiss Rolls, peanut butter bars and Oreos. Others brought vegetables, bananas, string cheese and even a slice of pizza.
“What started out as a joke turned into a fat-frenzied reality that will not soon be forgotten,” said West.

The CompHealth permanent placement team in Norwalk recently hosted a building-wide Barbecue for Breast Cancer to raise money for the Avon Foundation Walk for Breast Cancer.
“The barbecue was a success based on the money raised and the participation building wide,” said Jan Lynn, a business partner on the CompHealth OB/GYN & Anesthesia team.
Members of the Norwalk office have formed a team, “Patricia’s Militia,” that will walk in the 2010 Avon Foundation Walk for Breast Cancer in New York City in October. The team is named in honor of Pat Hopkins, a recruiter who is currently battling cancer.
CHG’s corporate and division leaders gathered in Salt Lake City for their annual leadership summit. The event included a full schedule of meetings and activities at the corporate office. Additionally, leaders took part in a leadership workshop as well as a team-building event during which they assembled children’s bikes for charity. Teams had to complete a series of challenges to acquire parts for the bikes; once they had the individual parts, their next task was to put the pieces together. The completed bikes were donated to the Hser Ner Moo Community & Welcome Center, a United Way agency.
Peter Corroon, the mayor of Salt Lake County, chose CHG’s headquarters as the site of his latest press conference. Mayor Corroon, who is also running for governor of Utah, made an announcement of his plan to preserve the quality of life within the state, and he listed CHG’s core value of Putting People First as a positive example of making quality of life a priority.
Before the press conference, Mayor Corroon toured the CHG facilities to learn more about the company and the healthcare staffing industry. He also drew the winning employees who participated in the Clear the Air challenge.
