Encouragement Notes Needed

Aspirus Divine Savior Hospital & Clinics
Due to COVID-19 our medical workers are exhausted and need ENCOURAGEMENT… you can help!!!

HOW: It is easy! Write down notes of encouragement and support. You can thank a health care
worker, encourage them with an inspirational thought, or just say hello and tell them that you are
thinking of them. No special skills are required. No special materials are required; crayons and
construction paper are just as welcome as a custom designed note card.

WHY: Honestly, medical workers are worn out. Caseloads keep growing and the impact of this
pandemic has been huge for our healthcare staff. We are trying to get the word out that community
members are thinking about them and want to support them. Having words of encouragement when
the days seem dark, long, and never-ending could make all the difference. We need our healthcare staff
to persevere!

WHEN: Now and for however long you feel inspired to provide these notes. We are using the notes to
provide a moment of renewal for the staff, and we anticipate that the impact of COVID-19 on our
healthcare systems will continue well into the spring of 2021. Your ongoing support of this initiative
would be extremely appreciated.

WHAT TO DO: Write up some notes/cards – please do not seal your individual note envelopes, if you
use any.

WHERE: Deliver them to: Inside front entrance of Aspirus Divine Savior Hospital or mail them to: Aspirus
Divine Savior Hospital & Clinics, P.O. Box 387, Portage, WI 53901 ATTN: Kari Due – Community Health

for you!
