Dear Colleagues:

With thanks for your hard work throughout the year, I’m offering one day of paid Administrative Leave on Friday, Dec. 22. Staff who don’t have “essential employee” responsibilities will be excused from work. (Policies governing leave administration are available from your supervisor and from Human Resource Services.) Please keep this calendar adjustment in mind when scheduling patients.

I know many of you are already busy arranging your holiday travel, and I hope this early notice makes your planning a bit easier. I’m deeply grateful for your dedication to UMB and grateful for this opportunity to show my appreciation. I wish you peace and joy this holiday season and restorative time spent with family and friends.

Sincerely,

Jay A. Perman, MD
President
