Apr 1

WNCCHS staff came together last Wednesday for our March All Staff Meeting, hosted by the Buncombe County Health Department. The afternoon focused on connecting across teams, sharing updates, and creating space for staff to learn more about how different parts of the organization work together.

The format was intentionally interactive, with time built in for conversation, movement, and cross-department engagement. Thank you to the Buncombe County Health Department for hosting and to Gilead Sciences for providing lunch.

Leadership shared progress on 2026 priorities, including communication, staff experience, patient access, and financial sustainability. Work is underway across teams to improve scheduling, reduce wait times, strengthen onboarding, and support more consistent workflows.

We also covered safety protocols, including fire alarm response and evacuation procedures, to ensure staff are clear on expectations across locations.

Departmental Visits: Staff rotated through department stations to learn about team roles, priorities, and how work connects across WNCCHS.
Collaborative Corners: Teams shared current projects and gathered staff input on topics like DPI/I-Team work, onboarding, integration across services, and the pharmacy move.

These sessions were designed to give staff more visibility into areas they don’t regularly interact with and to create space for questions and feedback.

Staff also received an update on our work with Coleman Associates and the work being done by our I-Team and Dramatic Performance Improvement (DPI) team. Current efforts are focused on improving access and efficiency, including:
