Comments

The title of this annual report is, “Our Promise.” The report starts with the “I am Yale-New Haven,” employee service excellence pledge. The pledge includes making a first great impression, protecting patient privacy, valuing diversity and treating all people with respect, communicating with compassion and courtesy, maintain a safe, quiet, and clean environment, and taking action when things go wrong. The year-end message contains detailed information on developments of the hospital during the year on pages 18-24. Some highlights include. The hospital began transitioning to a complete electronic medical record this year. The state’s first pediatric split-liver transplant and first living donor pediatric transplant occurred at YNHH in 2008. Initiative started to make all of YNHH and its properties smoke-free as of January 2009. There is a small “In Memoriam” section for physicians who have passed on page 52.

Images: This report includes many images of patients and a wide range of hospital employees. As well as hospital and medical staff leadership headshots. There are also many images of donors and events.
