I am a little late in posting this week, but for good reason. My dad was in the hospital for 4 days with sepsis. Because of the great care that he received, this week I have chosen to be grateful for Healthcare Workers. He has been well taken care of from the ER and hospital staff as well as Home Health since returning home.

I know of the hours Healthcare Workers spend in schooling to learn how to give the best care to patients. I also know that many of them experience burnout, depression, or anxiety because of their service. A thank you can help them feel as though they have done meaningful work. That is why we nominated 2 of his CNA’s, a nurse, and a physician assistant for Rockstar awards at the hospital.

Please pay it forward with our Health Gratitude Challenge this week and thank someone in health care as those who feel appreciated are more motivated to continue delivering the best care possible!
