COOL DOWN

When delivering care to others, it’s important to maintain your own physical and mental well-being.

Take a break, “cool down.”

What Self-care Strategies Help You Recharge?

We want to hear from TNA members. Please share self-care strategies that help you “cool down.”

Candi Howard

The winner of this year’s Blue Bell Ice Cream Party Giveaway was Candi Howard! Candi and her team at Halo Hospice enjoyed their ice-cream party in early July. They even got to try a brand-new Blue Bell flavor released that day!

Dawn McKinney

I love to go swimming or get to a huge shade tree, put down a big blanket, lay down and prop my feet up on the trunk and take a deep breathe a few times and just listen to the nature around me!

Jonna Rosh

Trip to the beach with friends!

Heather Bohman

Train rides at the zoo with my granddaughter.

Virginia Bedsole

We go out as group. We celebrate with each other outside of work. We also have a sunshine committee that plans different activities for us to be together.

Nicole Frets

Hanging out with my family. Swimming. Camping. Lots of Blue Bell on hot Texas days.

World Cup! ⚽️

Nurses Ana Mendez Lopez, Neal Ursy, Artur Gonzales, Norma Munoz cooled down this summer by attending the Netherlands vs Sweden World Cup game. This was made possible by a donation from a family inspired by the exceptional care for their loved one.
