Patients express gratitude for ‘Guardian Angels’

We often are asked by our patients, “How can I say thank you to the people who made a difference while I was in the hospital?” Longs Peak Hospital Foundation offers the Grateful Patient Program as a way for patients and their families to do just that.

When a grateful patient nominates a care provider as a Guardian Angel, the recognition leaves a lasting impact. A Guardian Angel donation supports our mission and goals while uplifting a care provider with a pin, a certificate and kudos from their leaders and peers.

We value the relationships built between our patients and their care teams, and we cherish moments when that connection grows into generosity.

“CRNA Megan was friendly, intelligent and validating,” the patient said. “While she kindly prepared me for a procedure, we talked, and it felt like visiting with a new friend. She worked well with her colleagues and made my experience very comfortable.”

The foundation is honored to play a part in helping patients and families express gratitude as part of their journey toward healing.
