Recognizing a Job Well Done
 
Thank you to every single one of our employees for rising to the challenges that have come with COVID-19. So many of you have adapted to new roles or work sites, taken on early shifts, continued working well into the night, put in extra time to volunteer, and proactively showed concern for the safety of your peers and patients. You are showing others what it means to be an essential worker and your efforts do not go unnoticed.

A number of companies are offering perks as thanks for the tireless efforts of our health care workers. Here are a few.

Krispy Kreme is offering free doughnuts to health care workers through National Nurses Week (May 6-12). Go to a Krispy Kreme drive-through, show them your employer badge, and they will provide a free box of a dozen Original Glazed® Doughnuts.

Chipotle is giving away 100,000 free burritos! While supplies last, Chipotle is thanking health care teams by offering burrito delivery boxes next week. If you're located within 15 miles of a Chipotle restaurant, nominate your site by 8:59 p.m. tonight.

Crocs have been offering free shoes to health care workers working on the front lines, and will be opening the offer back up at 9:00 a.m. tomorrow.
