Essential Worker Gift Bags Encourage Critical Care Staff

Learn how Katlyn Estep, an ICU nurse in Flagstaff, Arizona shared hope with her team in the most creative way.

As employees of the only level 1 trauma center in Northern Arizona, Katlyn Estep and her team had been hit particularly hard by COVID-19, especially due to their proximity to the Navajo Nation/Indian Reservations.

Katlyn’s fellow charge nurse and herself were interested in putting together gift bags to say “THANK YOU” to their amazing staff for all of their dedication and hard work over the past few months.

These bags were also meant for encouragement to prepare to the next wave of cases. When Katlyn discovered the Hero’s Heart pin, she knew they had to be included in the gift bags.

With a Critical Care staff of 265-290 people, including their respiratory therapists, Katlyn took advantage of our bulk packaging and group pricing.

The gift bags were well received, and shared with pride on by Katlyn’s colleagues on social media. Our team is inspired by Katlyn for her hard work recognizing others and we hope to encourage her entire staff during this difficult time.
