Summer Camps --- Make Plans Now
Seems like spring break just ended, but it's not too early to plan for summer. The Bon Secours Family Centers offer summer camps for employees' children and grandchildren. They can even invite their friends to sign up!
Here's what's in store for campers this year:
Summer Camp for children ages 6-12:
 | Summer Fun on the Farm
Children will get to experience farm life through many fun activities and field trips. They'll plant crops to harvest at the end of the summer, hatch baby chicks, try some egg-cellent experiments, visit a farm and even learn how to milk a cow. |
Summer Camp for children ages 10-15:
 | Babysitting
Participants will learn about child development, how to advertise, what to charge and more. They will take home a babysitting bag of goodies to use on their first job. |

Maryview Invests in
Latest MRI Technology
 |
Maryview Medical Center recently installed a 1.5 T GE Optima MR450w MRI unit, which offers several features that improve both the ability to capture better diagnostic information and improve patient comfort. The new unit offers a wide-bore, feet-first imaging for all exams and reduced scan times to assist patients with sensitivity to enclosed spaces. In addition, the new unit can accommodate individuals weighing up to 500 pounds.

|
Fast fact
With more than 1 million hip or knee replacement procedures performed each year in the U.S., there is a growing clinical need to more accurately image soft tissue and bone in patients with MR conditional-labeled implants, such as joint replacements.

Harbour View
Construction Progresses
 Bon Secours Harbour View Medical Plaza is on track for our opening in September. This new 58,000-square-foot, two-story building will include space for our comprehensive cancer center that includes radiation therapy, chemotherapy infusion center, and support services. The second floor will have space for physician practices to lease. The project represents a $20 million investment to enhance access to comprehensive cancer care and serve one of the most rapidly growing communities in Hampton Roads. |

Access Important Employee Information With Two-Factor Authentication
 Health care is facing an increase in security threats and hacking attempts. To help secure remote access to its information resources, Bon Secours has implemented two-factor authentication for those who wish to access employee information from home. Two-factor authentication requires not only a user name and password but also a dynamic (changing) six-digit code, which makes it harder for potential hackers to gain unauthorized access. Each time you access IS resources while on VPN or when you aren't on the Bon Secours network, you will need an additional six-digit code when you sign in. For details about self-enrollment click here and follow the steps. Questions?
Click here or call the Help Desk staff at EISSC at 866-809-9259. |
