Coworker Week 2026 is May 11–16

We’re less than a week away from Coworker Week, our annual joint celebration of Hospital Week and Nurses Week. Coworker Week is May 11–16, and we have a full lineup of events and celebrations planned. Here’s what you can expect at your campus:

All Locations

  • We encourage everyone to wear their CHI St. Vincent gear all week long! T-shirts, polos, hats, bags are all welcome! Please make sure clothes are clean and don’t have holes in keeping with our dress code policy.
  • All locations will be competing in the THV11 Cereal Drive! Please bring boxed or bagged cereal, oatmeal, granola bars or toaster pastries to work next week and drop them off in the donation box in the cafeteria. The drive lasts all summer long, but we’re using Coworker Week to get as many donations as we can.
