Inaugural JHC Spotlight
Celebrates the Heart of Our Campus
On 28 November 2025, colleagues from across Ng Teng Fong General Hospital and Jurong Community Hospital gathered at The Chevrons for the inaugural JHC Spotlight 🌟 – an evening dedicated to celebrating individuals and teams who shape a positive, inclusive workplace culture 💓 where people feel valued, connected and inspired to thrive.
As guests settled into the ballroom, CEO A/Prof Dan Yock Young opened the evening with a warm, heartfelt welcome. He shared that JHC Spotlight is a significant milestone for JurongHealth Campus and expressed his pride in colleagues who make JHC kinder ❤️🩹, smarter 🤓, nimbler⚡and safer🛟every day.
Ms Clara Sin, Group Chief Human Resource Officer, also affirmed that JHC’s culture of care, teamwork and resilience is deeply aligned with NUHS’ mission to deliver care that is human-centric and future-ready. She highlighted HR’s role in creating a thriving work environment 💓🏥—one that supports staff wellbeing, fosters an innovative and agile culture, and equips everyone to be future-ready, ultimately building the workforce of tomorrow.
The welcome speeches led into the launch of LEGACY by JHC – a short opening video 🎥 that introduced a customised JHC scent, presented as the evening’s door gift 🎁 for all attendees. The scent symbolises the unique “signature” our staff are creating together 🤲🏻 across the campus.
This was followed by a motivational segment 🗣️, “Winning Together: The Psychology of Recognition, Resilience and Renewal”, by guest speaker Thaddeus Lawrence. His sharing encouraged colleagues to reflect on the power of appreciation, mindset and collective strength in sustaining teams through change and challenge.
The first award 🏆 segment of the night recognised our Long Service Award recipients, including colleagues who have dedicated between 25 and 53 years to public healthcare across Nursing, Allied Health, Medical, Administrative and Ancillary. Their journeys reflect decades of growth, change and steadfast commitment to patients and teams.
A cake-cutting 🔪🎂 ceremony brought all Long Service Awardees together on stage - a visual reminder of the many hands 🤚🏻🤚🏼🤚🏾 and hearts 💗💗💗 that have built JurongHealth Campus over the years.
The spotlight then turned to the Lifelong Dedication to Care Award, presented to Adj A/Prof Tey Beng Hea, Visiting Consultant, Division of Endocrinology, Department of Medicine, NTFGH.
