| SHA CARES - Living our Values | In health care and caregiving roles, supporting others is part of the job. But caring for yourself is just as important. Whether you're a health-care worker, caregiver, or someone who spends their days helping others, taking time to rest, recharge and care for your own well-being can help protect your mental health. This Self-Care Day, consider one small thing you can do for yourself. A short walk, a coffee break, time with family, or simply pausing to take a breath can make a meaningful difference. When we care for ourselves, we're better equipped to care for others. | Recognition and Appreciation | Celebrating SHA Volunteers – International Year of the Volunteer | Summer Fun: Wascana Rehabilitation Center Children’s Program Summer Program. Volunteer Zahin Jeena encouraged participant John Sklar while participating in the Adapted Tennis Program in Regina | Throughout the summer, SHA Volunteers bring energy, compassion, and joy to programs, events, and outings across the province, helping patients, residents, and clients enjoy the season.
Working alongside recreation teams, volunteers support BBQs, trips to greenhouses and local farms, and outdoor entertainment such as concerts and visits from live animals—creating moments of connection and happiness.
In Regina, volunteers partner with SHA Exercise Therapists to support summer day camps for children of all ages and abilities. Through activities like kayaking and tennis, they build confidence, encourage participation, and foster safe, welcoming environments.
Every day across Saskatchewan, volunteers generously give their time to enhance the lives of those in our care. This International Year of the Volunteer, we proudly celebrate their impact.
Thank you to all our volunteers—you make a difference. | Farm Visit: Southeast Integrated Care Center - Moosomin Volunteer Trent Schmidt treated residents to a tour of his farm where Seb Flaman got to enjoy the sights and sounds of farm life. | Complete the Hospital Security and Protective Services survey | Submit by: August 5, 2026 As part of the independent, third-party review of hospital safety and security announced by the Ministry of Health, all Saskatchewan Health Authority employees are invited to voluntarily participate in the Hospital Security and Protective Services survey.
The survey is being conducted and administered by Buckingham Security Services Ltd. and is completely confidential. All survey responses go directly to Buckingham Security Services Ltd.
The scope of the review includes hospital and health centres, safety assessments, the legislative and regulatory environment, jurisdictional scanning, service delivery analysis, training and competency standards, tools and infrastructure, and stakeholder engagement.
The review will not involve detailed investigations of individual incidents, ongoing investigations, or processes currently underway or already completed. Your experiences and perspectives are valuable in shaping the final report. | Staff Safety Talk - Severe Weather Preparedness | Have you and your team talked about what to do if severe weather affects your workplace?
From thunderstorms to tornadoes, severe weather can affect everyone. Understanding your facility's emergency procedures and your department's response before an emergency occurs can help you act quickly and confidently when it matters most.
