Every day, healthcare workers go above and beyond to care for their patients, offering not only medical expertise but also kindness, comfort and support. If a nurse, doctor or any member of your care team has made a meaningful impact on you or a loved one, you have the opportunity to recognize them through the Parkview Health Foundation’s Guardian Angel Program.
What Is the Guardian Angel Program?
The Guardian Angel Program is a way for patients and their families to express gratitude to the caregivers who made a difference in their experience. Whether it was a nurse who provided reassurance during a difficult time, a therapist who offered encouragement or a staff member who brightened your day with their kindness, this program allows you to say "thank you" in a lasting and meaningful way.
How to nominate a Guardian Angel
Submitting a nomination is simple:
- Identify the caregiver who stood out – Who went the extra mile for you or your loved one?
- Share your story – Offer a few words about how they made a difference. This can mean the world to them.
- Submit your nomination
Why it matters
Being recognized as a Guardian Angel is a special honor for caregivers. It reminds them that their work truly makes a difference and provides encouragement after long days and often challenging and complicated patient cases. Your nomination can be a source of inspiration not just for them, but for the entire team.
A simple way to give back
There’s no cost to nominate someone, and it’s a heartfelt way to show appreciation. Some families also choose to make a donation in honor of their Guardian Angel, which helps support programs and resources for future Parkview patients and co-workers. However, a nomination alone is a powerful gesture that can brighten someone’s day.
If someone made your healthcare experience better, consider taking a moment to recognize them. Your words of appreciation can have a lasting impact!
