Bartlett Regional Hospital’s Year of Kindness surge kick off week on March 19-25 inspired both staff and patients. Food and Nutrition Services left inspirational notes on patient trays. Lucky departments were the recipients of surprise platters of fresh veggie slices with beet hummus. Nutrition and Dietetic technician Theresa Reynolds and young Abigail baked up some beet cupcakes with avocado icing at Zach Gordon Youth Center.

Bartlett Regional Hospital staff welcomed health care providers to the day and night shifts with goodies, scattered kindness forms and new bookmarks celebrating our CARE (Courtesy, Accountability, Respect and Excellence) values. BRH departments including Rainforest Recovery, Critical Care Unit, Mental Health Unit, and the Emergency Department will be participating in 17 Year of Kindness surges throughout the year.
