A little potassium and a lot of gratitude

Nurse Manager Andrea has an incredible ability to sense when her team needs a boost. 

On the hospital's medical unit, both day and night shifts, she surprised her staff with bananas to celebrate "𝙏𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙠𝙛𝙪𝙡 𝙏𝙝𝙪𝙧𝙨𝙙𝙖𝙮." With a playful wink, Andrea told the group, "I figured we could all use a little more potassium."  

Although it was a simple gesture, it carried a significant message about her care and appreciation for her team. 

Molly, a registered nurse on the unit, expressed just how much this gesture meant to her. 

“Andrea is always finding ways to make us feel valued. It may seem small, but these moments remind us that we're not just a team – we're a family. I appreciate her more than she knows."  

For Andrea, celebrating a day of the week is more than just a tradition; it's a way to pause, express gratitude, and remind her staff of how vital they are to both their patients and to one another.
