National Grateful Patient Day
September 7 All day

Gratitude = Healing
On National Grateful Patient Day, your message of thanks through our Guardian Angel program will mean the world to your special caregiver, and 100% of your gift of gratitude will bring hope and healing to local patients. For our caregivers, receiving a Guardian Angel honor is a memorable moment. They receive a commemorative certificate that features your message of thanks, as well as a special pin they can wear with pride.
