December Newsletter: A Season of Gratitude and Joy

A Holiday Message of Gratitude

As the year comes to a close, we want to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of you. Your dedication, compassion, and resilience have made an incredible impact on the lives of patients across Canada. We’re honoured to work with such amazing healthcare professionals, and we wish you and your loved ones a joyful holiday season filled with peace and cheer.

Tackling the Holiday Blues

While the holidays can be a time of celebration, we recognize they can also be tough for some. If you’re feeling a bit down this season, here are some uplifting ways to find joy and connection:

• Give Back: Volunteer at a local shelter or food bank. Helping others can brighten your mood and theirs.
• FaceTime or Video Calls: Stay connected with family and friends, even if you’re far away.
• Plan Something Special: Organize a little get together such as a pot luck with colleagues, and people you enjoy hanging out with.
• Embrace Local Joy: Explore holiday lights, markets, and events in your area. See our list below for ideas.
• Self-Care: Take time for yourself—whether it’s a relaxing bath, reading a good book, watching a good ole’ holiday movie, or enjoying a favorite holiday treat. Our CEO - Chase’s favorite holiday movie is National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation! 

Remember, you’re never alone. Reach out to friends, family, or one of our staff, if you need support.

Healthcare Hero of the Month: Tiffany Cook

This month, we are thrilled to celebrate Tiffany Cook as our Healthcare Hero of the Month!

Tiffany’s dedication, compassion, and unwavering commitment to her patients set her apart. Reflecting on her journey, Tiffany shares:

“My mom worked in healthcare, and she's always been an inspiration to me. My first degree was in sciences with a focus on wildlife, but I quickly realized, although I love animals, my true calling is helping people.”

Her ability to connect with patients and provide exceptional care makes Tiffany an invaluable part of our team. Congratulations, Tiffany, and thank you for all that you do!
