Our team has worked to help our staff be the best versions of themselves, so they are able to provide the best patient care.
Over the past year, several nurses noticed the need for Wellness Activities within the ED, out of this, “Wellness Wednesdays” were born and wellness champions were named. Our team has worked to help our staff be the best versions of themselves, so they are able to provide the best patient care. We were able to create a Zen Den within our department to mirror the Lavender Lounge. They also have a different wellness activity each Wednesday, including healthy smoothies, a coffee bar set up in our break room, and various healthy creamers and stretching activities. We just started the “shedding off 2020” challenge that included different wellness challenges each week, such as drinking more water, meditating daily, or exercising daily. These activities are motivating for our staff and promoted staff togetherness and a spirit of friendly competition.
