Hey Natividad Family,
I hope you have all had a good week so far. Does anyone else remember back to when weeks only had seven days in them?
Attached, you will find several attachments. Please check them out for more information.
New Work/Stay Home Guidelines (Required Reading)
For example, there are revised COVID-19 Work/Stay Home Guidelines. The document details what you should do under various circumstances, whether you are COVID-positive, negative or untested or had an exposure in the past 14 days. Please take a look when you can.
Congratulations to our DAISY Award Winner!
Jessica Davis, Staff Nurse II in ARU, is our second DAISY Award winner. Yeah! Congratulations to her for providing outstanding, compassionate care. And thank you to nursing for recognizing nursing excellence in this meaningful way. We are nothing without nurses, right? For more information, visit www.natividad.com/DAISY.
Volunteer Auxiliary Provides Essential Items Procurement
You may have seen an email from Jennifer Ferguson at the Volunteer Auxiliary. They are offering to get us staff hard-to-find essential items such as toilet paper, paper towels and disinfectants. If you can't shop, this is an easy way to get what you and the family need. Thanks volunteers! (I thought this was a particularly sweet gesture.)
You will find the instruction form and request form attached. Place your order request using the request form. You don't have to send a payment until you receive an invoice. They have limited amounts of product and not all items may be available. Please pick up your items at the end of your shift and take them to your car. And please, do not bring your purchase into the hospital.
Thank You Notes
We’ve been receiving so many wonderful notes from our community thanking you for your service. Attached is one from the Greenfield Library.
I’m also sharing a Thank You Video from Monterey Peninsula Unified School District to health care staff. Mr. Tani, the assistant principal at Marina High School (and a brother to one of our awesome residents) also interviewed two of our residents about COVID-19 in this YouTube video. This is a fun interview and they did a great job.
Discounts for Health Care Workers
