The California Medical Facility in Vacaville (CMF) allowed staff to show their team spirit and kick off baseball season.

On Friday, March 28, all staff, including custody, were allowed to wear their Major League Baseball (MLB) team hat of choice while on duty.

This provided an opportunity for employees to show team spirit and join in the excitement of MLB opening weekend.

Staff from all disciplines participated in the event adding a playful rivalry to the workplace. Beyond team spirit, the activity fostered coworker companionship.
