Each fall, our clocks “fall back” as daylight-saving time ends in the United States. While many enjoy an extra hour of sleep, our night-shift teams work through this longer-than-usual shift, continuing to give compassionate care.
Back in 2015, one of our nurses had a brilliant idea to celebrate this time change with her fellow night-shift team members. Since then, they’ve turned what could’ve been a tiring long shift into a fun tradition, with snacks, coffee, prizes, and connection. This year, we celebrated again with the theme "Fall Back to the Future," enjoying each other’s company and festive fun as the clock wound back on Sunday!
For those who don’t work nights, I invite you to share your thanks and encouragement with our night-shift teams through the Be Heard Suggestion Box. I’ll update this blog post next week to show your comments about how much these dedicated teams mean to us.
Thank you for all you do, day and night, to provide outstanding care. Your hard work is truly appreciated!
Take care and be well,
Wendy
