1. Health Insurance Options for Patients
Stony Brook University Hospital has a strong commitment to improving the health status of the community. Our mission is not only to provide excellence in health care, education and research, but also in community service. In fulfilling this mission, the hospital developed a Managed Medicaid health insurance awareness/enrollment program. Through the Facilitated Enrollment Community Outreach Program, community members (individuals, community health organizations, local schools, day care centers, etc) are educated about the Managed Medicaid program benefits available to eligible families and children. In addition, the programs' Community Outreach Enroller will assist eligible families and individuals with completion, submittal and follow up of the Managed Medicaid application. The program offers assistance in both English and Spanish.
For information about free or low cost health insurance or to schedule an educational in-service, please contact Maria Gonzalez at (631) 444-9807.

6. Mastering Performance Reviews
Just as faculty members judge students on their performance in courses through papers, tests, classroom discussion, etc.., managers judge employees on the quality and quantity of their work performance. These judgements are made every day, every week, every month, depending on how closely the manager works with or observes his/her employees. These informal ratings form the basis for what we now call the more formal "performance appraisal" or "performance review". This program is designed to:
Clarify the manager's role as communicator, counselor, and mentor.
Demonstrate effective communication techniques, including giving constructive feedback.
Guide the manager through the process: from preparing for and conducting the appraisal session, through to concluding the appraisal session, with follow-up.
Sensitize the supervisor to multicultural and diversity issues.
Date: June 23, 2005 Time: 9:30am -12:30pm Place: Admin Bldg., Rm 192
To register: please fax a registration form (found on HR website) to Pat Lore fax 2-2414
