VA Illiana is planning for our Patient Experience Week, 4/22 – 4/26 and we are hoping to volunteers in our event. The National Salute efforts were such a success that we would like to know if you and your fellow volunteers would like to distribute a special item or snack one day during the week. We are looking to do this on Tuesday 4/23/19, but there is flexibility in the schedule if another day better fits the volunteer availability.
I am attaching a photo of the general idea that we
have for an item. One of our volunteers did a travel size Kleenex with a
phrase of “You Blow Us Away”, which was inexpensive but well received
. She was able to print the phrase out on
mailing labels and just stuck it to the Kleenex container. We would
love to see your creativity with the project.
If you have any interest in supporting our Patient
Experience Week efforts please let me know and I am happy to answer any
questions you may have.
