Dear Employees:
If s the time of year when we
wait to hear the results of our
participation in the National
Residency Matching Program. On
February 18, each residency
program director submitted a final
list of preferred candidates for the
positions to be filled for the
upcoming educational year,
which begins in June. The
matching program receives
similar selection rankings from all
participating applicant physi-
cians. Then, by computer, each
program's top-ranked candidates
are matched against the prefer-
ences of the applicants, and
assignments are made.
Naturally, the waiting period
between submission of our "wish
list" and the release of outcomes
in March is a highly charged time
for all those involved. We have
had many excellent candidates
show an interest in our residency

University of Colorado also are
very interested in continuing their
education at Saint Joseph
Hospital.
I have been impressed with the
extremely high quality of young
physicians we are able to recruit
to our training programs. These
residents bring enthusiasm, intel-
lectual curiosity, and the potential
to add continually to the solid
capability of our medical staff. In
a time when loyal physicians are
the key to a hospital's future, we
have the opportunity to form
bonds with the "home grown"
physicians from our own
programs. In this way, they can
become familiar names and faces
around Saint Joseph's community
for years to come.

SJH Saint Joseph
Day Celebration
Postponed
Traditionally, Saint Joseph
Hospital celebrates the Feast of
Saint Joseph by inviting
Archbishop J. Francis Stafford to
celebrate mass in the Hospital
chapel. However, this year the
celebration had to be moved
because the Feast Day is Saturday,
March 19. Due to scheduling
conflicts, the Archbishop is not
available until April 28. Sister
Marianna has extended an invita-
tion to Archbishop Stafford to say
mass on that date and to greet
employees at a reception. Watch
for more information in April.
