To the UCOR Workforce:
Recently, we lost a member of the UCOR family—Cheryl Jeffers. A few weeks ago, Cheryl collapsed in the field unexpectedly and was rushed to the hospital. Unfortunately, she did not recover. Cheryl was an integral member to our cleanup mission at ORNL. I would like to offer my condolences to her team for their loss.
All loss is hard, but witnessing such an unexpected tragedy is especially difficult. Please keep Cheryl’s family and teammates in your thoughts during this trying time.
I would like to remind everyone that UCOR has resources like the Mental Wellbeing Center to assist. The Wellbeing Center is located at 100 Union Valley, Suite 116, just down the hall from UCOR Health Services. To schedule an appointment or for more information, contact 865-535-8558 or email navigate@orcc.doe.gov.
Our Employee Assistance Program is also available to eligible employees who may be having a difficult time processing this loss. You can receive confidential assistance 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, by calling 1-888-881-5462 and using group code ucoreap1.
