'All I wanted was for people to have a resource and get the things they needed no matter what.' Nurse Stacy Mason started a free pantry at her hospital when she heard health case workers talking about being unable to find essential items.
Stacy Mason, who has worked at Mary Washington Hospital's Intensive Care Unit in Fredericksburg for more than seven years, established the"team cupboard" in May, after hearing health care workers talk about being unable to find essential items, like sanitary wipes and diapers.The initiative started as effort to help workers in the ICU, but quickly grew to include the entire hospital system."Our ICU is truly like a family, especially now more than ever.
"Stacy is an incredible nurse and she saw an opportunity to help her fellow associates by creating the Mary Washington Healthcare Team Cupboard where people give what they can and take what they need," Kathy Wall, senior vice president of Mary Washington Healthcare, told CNN."Stacy embodies our values and she has demonstrated the generosity and initiative we see every day as our associates care for our patients and one another.
