Employee Appreciation Day 2019 — Texas

At Angels of Care Pediatric Home Health we LOVE OUR EMPLOYEES!!! The hard work and dedication of our incredible nurses and office staff does not go unnoticed. So, every year, we like to show our staff how much we appreciate them with Employee Appreciation Day giveaways!!

As y’all know, summers in Texas are HOT. So what better way to kick off Employee Appreciation Day than with Kona Ice sno-cones?  The Kona Ice truck had every flavor imaginable and was even equipped with a tap on the outside for the AOC employees to make their own cones. If that wasn’t enough to cool us down, the water guns full of ice water definitely did the trick! The rest of the afternoon was full of pizza and fellowship while we eagerly awaited the big giveaway. Angels of Care’s founder, Bonnie West, along with her family got the real party started when Jessica Riggs, our President and CEO, announced that it was time for the much anticipated car giveaway. This year’s car was a 2019 electric blue Ford Mustang and wow was it pretty. Jessica shook the box as everyone crossed their fingers, toes, and said a little prayer. She pulled out a name and read it aloud, “Kelli Mullens!” Kelli is one of the nurses at Angels of Care and she will now have a brand new ride every time she goes to see her patient! Afterwards was the drawing for 24 cash prizes and that really raised the excitement level to a 10. Everyone was cheering as name after name was drawn and all were rooting for their friends each time the drawing box was shaken. The staff at Angels of Care work so hard during the week to provide our special needs kids with their home health services, so it was wonderful to see them have such a fun time as leadership showed them their appreciation.

The nurses and office staff are key players in the success of Angels of Care. Every day we strive to provide exceptional care for our special needs patients to ensure that their needs are met and their families’ worries are eased. Our nurses go above and beyond for their patients, developing relationships with them and their families and making the healthcare process as positive as possible. Behind the scenes, our office staff is constantly speaking and working with families to ensure their needs are being met, making sure their fellow employees are being taken care of, and working to create an overall sense of fellowship and order to help the entire process go smoothly. This is why Employee Appreciation Day is so important at Angels of Care. Without the Angels of Care employees working together every day towards a better future, Bonnie West’s vision of helping special needs children could have never reached fruition. Thank you to everyone who makes Angels of Care a special place. The world is a little brighter because of all that you do.
