The Yale New Haven Hospital Auxiliary invites employees, patients and the community to the annual Holiday Tree Lightings Tuesday, Dec. 5. Marna Borgstrom, president and CEO, YNHHS; and Michael Holmes, senior vice president, YNHH, will each be joined by a Yale New Haven Children’s Hospital patient. Holmes will host the event from noon - 12:30 pm in the Saint Raphael Campus main lobby; Borgstrom will host the YSC event, 4 - 4:30 pm in the Hunter Courtyard, corner of York and Cedar streets.

Employees may choose to download electronic IRS W-2 and 1095-C forms for the 2017 tax year, versus receiving paper forms in the mail. Downloading forms provides quick access, is more environmentally friendly and helps YNHHS save on expensive postage. The W-2 form reports annual earnings; 1095-C reports employer-provided health insurance offered and coverage. Employees must make a request to electronically download forms when they become available in January. If you take no action, paper copies will automatically be mailed to your home. Links to request electronic forms will be posted Dec. 1 on the Employee Self Service dashboard and YNHHS HR intranet landing page. Requests must be made by Dec. 27. Electronic forms will be available for download as soon as they are approved for processing and no later than Jan. 31, 2018. Employees who have paper forms mailed should be sure their correct home address is in ESS by Dec. 27.
Reminder: The W-2 form is provided to all employees who receive compensation from YNHHS in a given year. The 1095-C form will be provided to most, but not all employees, based on the Affordable Care Act requirements and hours worked. Information from both forms is required for employees to file their taxes, and the forms should be kept with tax records. A 1095-C fact sheet, including information on who will receive this form, will be posted Dec. 1 on ESS and the YNHHS HR intranet.
Nurses throughout Yale New Haven Health System are invited to submit abstracts for poster presentation at the 10th Janet Parkosewich Nursing Research Conference, “Harnessing Moral Resilience to Address Ethical Challenges in Healthcare” March 29, Yale University, West Campus. Abstracts may be submitted via YNHHS' intranet; the deadline is Feb. 10. Conference registration is also available on the YNHHS intranet. For information, contact Anne Marie McGrory, RN, [email protected].
Fortune magazine recently named Yale New Haven Hospital to its 2017 list of the 100 Best Workplaces for Women. The list highlights companies with generous benefits, flexible schedules and an emphasis on balancing work and life. The 100 Best Workplaces for Women rankings are based on representation of women and employee survey feedback at the winning companies.
