West Jeff leaders took team building to the next level with a fun night out at Rock and Bowl!🎳

Leaders from across all departments came together for bowling, music, and great conversation. Events like this help us connect beyond the hospital walls—building relationships, sharing ideas, and strengthening our community in a relaxed, energizing setting. At West Jeff, we believe in showing up. That means supporting each other not just during the workday, but after hours too. 💙

We had a little surprise birthday celebration for our CMO, Dr. James Callaghan, as well!🎉
