      Praise
      A simple, sincere "thank you" can go a long way, and this belief reflects the central themes in the Hospital's C-I-CARE philosophy. When a co-worker or supervisor does something praise-worthy, we make it a point to thank that person - face-to-face, over the phone or in writing. Employees can also include special "kudos" as agenda items at staff meetings.
