Take a look back on.........
Solidarity Week 2018
Solidarity Week for Compassionate Patient Care was held across the nation from Monday, Feb. 12 to Friday, Feb 16, 2018 with nearly 90 institutions participating. We would like to thank all of our Gold Humanism Honor Society Chapters, medical schools and patient care institutions for not only their involvement but their dedication to providing compassionate, patient-centered care. We saw pet therapy sessions, encouragement boards, movie nights and many more activities that engaged the entire healthcare team, including patients.
Thank a Resident Day
We launched our first Thank a Resident Day on Friday, February 23, 2018 with over 30 institutions participating! Thank a Resident Day was an opportunity to support resident well-being through activities and encourage medical students to connect with resident staff. This inaugural celebration saw a range of activities that included serving meals, collecting notes of gratitude, delivering candy grams, and much more !
The University of Nebraska Medical Center chapter circulated the following words from Dr. Kelly Cawcutt,

To the resident who is exhausted and overwhelmed, thank you for putting the needs of your patients and team first.
To the resident who covered service for a sick colleague, thank you for keeping both our patients and colleagues healthier by your service today.
To the resident who feels like they are not good enough, thank you for showing up every day and continuing to forge ahead. The road is not easy, it is ok to ask for help. Success is not in knowing everything, it is about developing the competence to know when you need help and to get it.
To the resident who is teaching all of us on rounds, thank you for your initiative and know you are bringing value to the entire team.
To the resident who had to break bad news, thank you for your support and care for that patient and family.
To the resident toiling on research on nights and weekends, thank you for working to improve medical practices.
To the resident dreaming of leadership roles, keep dreaming! You are the future leaders – thank you for your future innovations.
To the resident who wants to quit, know you are not alone. Thank you for carrying the emotional toll of medicine, but now it is time to ask for help carrying that burden. Please talk to someone, seek mentorship and help. Thank you for your bravery in doing so.
To all of the residents working around the clock in hospitals, emergency rooms and clinics, thank you for being part of this healthcare team. 
Thank you for your dedication, your blood, sweat and tears. We need you, we appreciate you even if we are not always expressing this as often as we should, and we are grateful for you.
