Celebrating the Grand Opening of the Staff Wellness Room
A Space Dedicated to Our Healthcare Heroes
December 16, 2024 marked an exciting milestone at the Leduc Community Hospital as the Staff Wellness Room officially opened its doors. Made possible by the incredible generosity of the Edmonton Oilers Community Foundation (EOCF) 50/50 program to the Operation Frontline Impact initiative, this new sanctuary is already making a profound difference for hospital staff.
Designed as a retreat from the unique pressures and stressful demands of healthcare, the Staff Wellness Room offers a calming space for meditation and relaxation during breaks. Featuring comfortable massage chairs and soothing, dim lighting, the room is a haven for staff seeking to recharge and prioritize their personal well-being. It is anticipated to become an essential resource for hospital staff.
The creation of the Staff Wellness Room underscores the EOCF’s commitment to enhancing staff wellness and its ongoing support for healthcare professionals. Sai, a member of the operating room team at the hospital, says he uses the wellness room during his break to rest and refocus. The space has already become a meaningful part of his routine.
A unique and heartfelt touch adds even more depth to this special space. The stunning tile artwork that decorates the walls was a collaborative effort, designed and created by hospital and Foundation staff. This feature element not only enhances the room’s tranquil environment but also reflects the creativity and camaraderie of the hospital’s team. These tiles are more than art – they are a testament to the community spirit that makes the hospital so special.
This new room is more than just a space – it is a symbol of gratitude and an acknowledgement of the significance of self-care to the resilience of the entire hospital team. This initiative will also endure as an ongoing reminder of the importance of supporting the healthcare heroes who care for us.
