Sharing the Caring
Send a special note to care providers - and all the brave heroes on the front lines
Here at Hennepin Healthcare, we are so proud and extremely grateful for our care providers and all of our compassionate employees at this time of crisis. But we also realize the care and support teams here make up just a fraction of the healthcare workers around the world that are helping battle this worldwide pandemic.
Please take just a moment to send a THANK YOU, or a simple note of gratitude to all of the members of our team and healthcare workers all across the state, the nation and THE WORLD.
It’s simple:
- Fill out the form below
- Every day the messages will appear on this page (below) and will be shared across our social media channels.
- Click the social icons at the bottom of the page to share with your friends and loved ones and encourage them to share the caring. Use #sharingthecaring.
Messages can be as long or short as you wish—whether you know someone helping others or not—a simple thank you goes a long way. Feel free to include photos, emojis and art with your submission to further brighten their day. Send as many as you want – give thanks today, tomorrow and every single day until we get through this.
Your messages of support will help bring moments of peace and comfort during this stressful time.
Please help us recognize and appreciate our heroes…they could use our love and support now more than ever before.
Example of a message:
"Thank you for showing up every day in incredible times, both onsite and offsite, for performing your work with excellence for those we serve, and for supporting not only our patients but for each other. This epidemic shall pass, but in the interim, we need to continue to operate as an amazing team and be here for our community. We will do this together. Thank you to everyone."
- Jennifer DeCubellis, CEO, Hennepin Healthcare

HCMC Campus, Green Pharmacy
Hi... I just wanted to say "THANK YOU" for the very obvious enhancements to the HCMC campus to protect anyone visiting or working there that I experienced today. Stopped by for my monthly pick up of prescriptions in Green RX this afternoon. The efficient, friendly and above all respectful level of service I received at EVERY point of contact was surprising to me knowing the level of fatigue that is expected of a situation like this. AND...I was nervous that the basic service from the stellar Green RX team would be reduced or even unavailable but NO! Thank you for rising to the occasion of this crisis while also still accommodating the basic services that I so appreciate and would never look elsewhere for. I left the campus feeling quite assured that my health was never compromised in the slightest during this afternoon's visit. Keep up the amazing work and know how much you all are appreciated by all of us in the community. Thank you... 3/24

This is for my heroes and helpers in the pharmacies that work around the clock to provide the medicine that sustains the sick. You calm the patients, reassure them that the prescription is what's best for them. You are the angels when their insurance is slow in responding, or calm them when the co-pays are more than they can pay and work your magic with the insurance company to lower the price. You are calm when the patients are the sickest and try to understand that they have just spent 9 hours in the ER and just want to go home to feel better. Hang in there you amazing heroes, Stay healthy and safe. Please fill this RX for me: One dance party q4h until Covid-19 is gone. A sure cure for EVERYTHING! 3/28

I want to thank each healthcare worker from doctors to caregivers to custodians for the dedication and perseverance in carrying out their duties. Thank you to those who have not made this a union issue which goes to divide us. It is not just the union labor that does not have the equipment or service needed to carry on. Patients are not able to get COVID tests, ailing teeth have to wait, masks are unavailable to care for their loved one who do not have anyone else, and many more examples. Let us not talk about a we and they. Help our community work together. And only then will we have enough. 3/25

There will never be enough words to express the appreciation that all of you deserve. You are the helpers that all of us were told to look for in times of crisis. You are the angels that calm the scared, provide the medication and answer the questions, you are the ones who put in more hours at work than you do at home. You are the heroes that wash the linens, keep the floors clean, protect the employees from scared and angry patients and cook meals so everyone has the energy to keep going. This is a tough and unsure time and there doesn't seem to be enough answers for all the questions. So when you're feeling overwhelmed, it's alright, tears are understandable, anxiety is normal, take a deep breath, find comfort in your faith in what comforts you, and it's okay to scream if you have to. And know what you do will never be forgotten. 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕 3/24

"A good friend of mine owns a small barbershop in NE Minneapolis that is currently closed. Last week he came in and gave cuts to EMS workers to raise spirits, several of the EMS workers and security have had to shave their faces for mask fitting. I heard it was a very uplifting experience for both the barber and EMS. Some people may think facial hair is just something that grows back, but to someone who has had a beard their whole grown life, it is part of their identity. The next time you see an employee out there with a freshly shaved face, comment on how nice it is. It's probably not shaved by choice. I promise, it means a lot.” 3/23

Thank you Hennepin Healthcare, I really don't have adequate words, there are so many examples of how you go above and beyond. Coming in for my healthcare with you has been the bright spot in my day sometimes. I regularly tell people how amazing you all are. Never mind the highest level of medical expertise, after being turned away by other places, you look me in the eye and say "we're glad you're here." One comforting thing during this crisis is knowing your healthcare providers support and care about EACH OTHER. You don't have anything if you don't have that. I care about you too. Thank you! 3/22
