“People just want to be recognized. They just want to know what they do matters. They want to know if somebody cares about it. And, part of our job as leadership is to help folks understand we do care, what they do does matter, and that we need to be part of that whole gratitude process. ... As part of our kickoff meeting, we gave gratitude boxes to every one of our supervisors and leaders with a gratitude journal, note cards to send notes to others, candles so they can kind of relax, an 80th anniversary Ochsner pen because Ochsner is celebrating its 80th anniversary this year. That gratitude box was to kick off things in the right way.” HEALTHCARE JOURNAL OF BATON ROUGE I  MAR / APR 2022 17
