UNM Health Launches 10to100 Challenge
UNM Health Aims to Reach 100% Vaccination Rate With its Employees
UNM Health has launched the 10 to 100 Challenge, a 10-day multi-platform blitz designed to increase the percentage of employees vaccinated in the UNM Health System.
The initiative, which runs from May 10 to May 19, is designed to engage health systems across the country in a friendly “competition” to see who can get the highest percentage of their employees vaccinated.
As of Thursday, 9,644 out of 10,555 UNM Health employees – 91 percent – have been vaccinated.
