“None of the lifesaving care we provide at Ohio State happens without our excellent staff and their commitment to serving our patients and our community. We recognize the pandemic has left many of our clinicians and support staff feeling worn out, frustrated and anxious. Yet, through these difficult times, our colleagues continually embody the best of what it means to be a Buckeye, and it is our privilege to work with this team every day,” said Chief Clinical Officer, Dr. Andrew Thomas.
The bonus will go to current staff members who have been employed by the medical center since April 1, 2021, excluding most leadership roles, faculty, physicians, temporary employees and students, according to the medical center.
