Unity Director of Volunteer Services Jamie Laughlin with Unity Health President CEO Steven Webb, who was presented a Spirit of Unity Award.

During this time, communities are rallying around healthcare workers and thanking them for fighting to keep others safe. Hospitals and healthcare workers are trained for crises like COVID-19 and will continue to keep communities and patients safe long afterward. 

If you or a loved one have had a recent hospital stay or have a planned stay in your future, you may want to thank those who provided care and went the extra mile. At Unity Health in Searcy, the Spirit of Unity Award is the perfect place to start. 

The Unity Health Foundation began the Spirit of Unity Award in 2017 as part of its Grateful Patient Program to recognize outstanding caregivers for the care they provide to patients and families. The Spirit of Unity Award is a way for patients, or family members of patients, to show their gratitude by giving a gift in the associate’s or department’s honor to the Unity Health Foundation. These gifts support health-related programs and services that will help to ensure Unity Health is here to give excellent care to patients for generations to come.

“Our associates are dedicated to serving patients, and the Spirit of Unity Award is just one way to recognize those who care for them,” said Unity Health Foundation Representative Anna Brumfield. “These donations help our organization continue to serve our community and patients.”

Although COVID-19 will become a more normal part of life as we move forward and learn more, thanking those who care for you or your loved ones never has to see an end.
