As a registered nurse, Jeanna Angel knows firsthand how tough it can be to be a caregiver. The amount of time that she spends bedside can take a toll. But, thanks to donors like you, Jeanna and her fellow providers have a place they can relieve some of that stress. You supported a new Lavender Room where they can rest, relax and recharge during stressful shifts.

“My lunch break might come at noon, or it might not come until 3 p.m. in the day, depending on what is going on with my patients,” she says. “But, when I can, I try to take advantage of the Lavender Room during my lunch break.”

“We give so much of ourselves to others and to our patients, but the Lavender Room lets us take care of us for a little bit.”

The private room features calm lighting, therapeutic music and aromatherapy. But the highlight for Jeanna are the massage chairs, which she says are critical for easing tension in her muscles from a hard day caring for patients.

“After I have been there, I feel so much more relaxed,” she says. “My mind is clear. I feel totally refreshed and I’m ready to go again.”

Jeanna is thankful that your donations have provided the Lavender Room for her and her coworkers. “Thank you so much for giving. Even if it seems like a small thing, every little thing that can be done for others really helps.”
