The Cornett Family: The Hyatt

Everett and I were so furtunate to get to spend 3 days at The Hyatt, Huntington Beach last week courtesy of my employer. My company CEP puts on 2 conferences per year. The locations vary, but they are always all expenses paid and so much fun! They have multiple speakers each day on topics relevant to emergency medicine and to our company. They even provide child care through an amazing company called kiddie corp....so you have no excuse no to attend! (But they don't check attendence, do they Kristine?!) My company is all about "wellness" these days and they are doing whatever they can to help keep their employees happy and healthy. So day #2 of the conference was actually a beach day complete with free surf lessons. After getting cleaned up, I dropped Everett off at kiddie corp (which was in a banquet room at the Hyatt) and headed to the awards ceremony for some free drinks! Last year Arrowhead Regional Medical Center was named ER of the year. This was an amazing award for us that recognized all the hard work we had been doing. So needless to say, we did not win any awards this year! But quite a few PAs and Docs were awarded for 10 years of service...which is amazing! Day #3 I got my blood drawn for the first time in a long time. Our company knows that PA's and MD/DO's don't ever go the doctor. So they sent up blood draw stations with whatever tests you need, free of charge, and mail the results directly to you for interpretation. And then you can write your own prescription to fix all your problems!

Day #3 was also the day that Jeremy was able to join us...and I was SO thankful! Being a single parent in a tiny hotel room is quite difficult, so we were both relieved to see him. We swam at the pools including a very clever 1 foot deep kid pool, and we went down the waterslides. It was a great conference at the perfect location! Thanks CEP!
