Acts of kindness can energize and warm the souls of both the person sharing goodness and those receiving it. Our local health care workers deserve our appreciation and a little extra kindness during these tough times. Below are some suggested ways to directly support front line health care workers through donations or an encouraging note.

- Order meals from a local Colorado Springs restaurant to feed a unit at any of our four hospitals. Please provide one-week notice.
- Buy gift cards for local restaurants and provide them to the hospital to purchase meals for health care workers.
