This week we celebrate Random Acts of Kindness, a meaningful reminder that even the smallest gestures can make a powerful difference in the lives of our patients, families, and one another.

To celebrate, we encourage everyone to intentionally practice at least one random act of kindness. Below are a few simple ideas you can easily incorporate into your day:

 Spend a few extra minutes to talk with a lonely friend or family member.
 Check in on a teammate and ask, “How can I help?”
 Leave a positive note of encouragement for someone.
 Help someone without being asked, even if it’s outside your usual role.
 Start a gratitude chain – tell one person something you appreciate about them and ask them to pass it on.
 Give positive feedback to a team member and share it with leadership.
 Compliment someone on goals accomplished – “You handled that well/Give yourself credit for accomplishing your set goal.”

Kindness is contagious. One thoughtful act can change someone’s entire day – and sometimes even their healing journey.
