THANK OUR AMAZING WORKING GROUP FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT

Lindsay Jewell

Program Coordinator

I have been with RIHPA for seven months now and I have enjoyed every second of the position. I think it is so important to love what you do. I enjoyed helping plan the first social event since the pandemic “Mingle and Merlot” it was exciting to meet the physicians and see them enjoy being with their colleagues in person.

One of my duties has included

Natrisha Sagris

RIH MSA & CME Coordinator

Little did I know when I joined the MSA team in January 2018, what the next several years would have in store for all of us. I am grateful to be on this journey through, up and around the challenges of the past few years supporting our dedicated medical staff membership. In my role as the MSA and CME coordinator, I am here for your requests and suggestions. If I can't help, I will find someone who can.

I am most proud of our introduction of cultural safety topics within our continuing medical education programming throughout the program year and our ability to stay connected during the pandemic.

providing the doctors with small “acts of appreciation” by providing snacks in the doctor’s lounge, a donut and coffee day, as well as a cookie day. We will continue to try and be creative in the fall and winter months ahead.

I look forward to Facility Engagement Planning with both new and/or existing doctors that want to create positive changes for our hospital at RIH or Hillside. For me to be able to do a job where I can support in a meaningful way, is a complete blessing.

The Royal Inland Hospital Medical Staff Association functions to:

• Attend and advocate at local medical advisory committee meetings

• Represent staff in conflict situations

• Works collaboratively with the Royal Inland Hillside Physician Association (RIHPA) and IH admi to move forward on projects

• MSA Quarterly meetings and membership appreciation and recognition

• Continuing medical education programming and CME events

Thank you to our MSA board members and our CME co-chairs for their ongoing championing of the MSA programs. I look forward to the programming year ahead.
