Hospitals & Clinics/U of U Health Employee Opportunities

We understand it's difficult to get away from your important clinical duties to attend our in-person EAD event, so that's why we are bringing EAD to you! This year, the Hospitals & Clinics recognition team will be setting up treat stations to recognize your incredible efforts at the following locations:

• University of Utah Hospital
• Moran Eye Center
• Huntsman Cancer Institute
• Huntsman Mental Health Institute
• University Orthopedic Center
• Craig H. Neilsen Rehabilitation Hospital

For questions, please contact Kari Smith with the Hospitals & Clinics Employee Recognition Team.

2024 information coming soon!

Consider volunteering for this year’s Employee Appreciation Day! This event wouldn’t be possible without the help of generous U employees who volunteer 1-2 hours of their time in various areas, such as activities/games, food & beverage, and more!

Volunteer information for 2024 coming soon!

1. Who is allowed to attend the in-person Employee Appreciation Day (EAD)? University of Utah, HCI and U of U Health faculty and staff are invited to attend! Student employees are also invited to attend, but will need to email EAD@utah.edu with their UNID before September 28 so that employment can be verified.
2. Who is not allowed to attend the in-person EAD? Due to safety concerns, pets are not allowed to attend (service animals are welcome, however). Children and family members of employees will not be permitted to attend either. Essentially, if you do not have a valid UNID or U Card, you will not be allowed to enter the event.
3. Who is allowed to participate in the virtual EAD activity (Goosechase)? Any University of Utah, HCI and U of U Health faculty and staff member (including students) who can't make it to the in-person event can participate in this virtual activity! If you work-from-home, work from a different state, are a part of our University of Utah Korean campus, or an employee in our Hospitals/Clinics system (who often can't leave their shifts for the in-person event), this is a great opportunity to get involved! You can still participate if you attend the in-person event too.
4. What do I need to bring with me to EAD this year? All employees will need to ensure they bring their Ucard to the event - it will be scanned before they can enter. No entrance will be permitted with a valid Ucard. Student employees will need to bring their Ucard and a printout of the email from EAD@utah.edu confirming their employment. While all activities and food/drink/dessert are free, guests are also encouraged to bring their wallets as there may be opportunities for vendors selling merchandise.
5. What is the bag policy for this event? Guests will be given tote bags courtesy of our Presenting Partner, TIAA, as they arrive at the event. Guests are asked to leave backpacks, workbags, large purses, etc. at home/work, but if they do bring them to the event, they will be searched by our on-site security team.
6. How do I enter the event if ADA access is required? If you arrive at  the event near Gate D (the historical entrance to EAD) off the main stadium parking lot, you will find an ADA entrance located near the Gate E lobby area. You will take the lobby elevator to the 2nd floor to then exit onto the concourse. This is also the way for ADA access to the field level for field-level activities.
