Wellstar Health System Honors Team Members As 'Vital Valentines'

Marietta, Ga. (Feb. 12, 2021) — Wellstar Health System, one of Georgia’s largest and most integrated healthcare systems, is celebrating team members as “Vital Valentines” for providing extraordinary and compassionate care during the pandemic.

The systemwide appreciation campaign honors all team members with special customized and heartfelt messages of support from Wellstar leaders.

From Feb. 10 to Feb. 14, Wellstar will distribute appreciation notes to all team members, including Valentine's Day cards and candy hearts with customized Wellstar messages. Employees will also have the opportunity to share and acknowledge co-workers with notecards or recognize a team member by making an online donation to the Employee Assistance Fund in the honoree’s name.

Wellstar has launched a systemwide appreciation campaign to honor all team members as “Vital Valentines.”

Wellstar also encourages the public to join in celebrating Wellstar team members by following Wellstar social media channels, including Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, in the days leading up to Valentine’s Day. The community is invited to share photos, words of encouragement, and other appreciation items on social media by using the hashtag #vitalvalentines.

Also, the system partnered with the Wellstar Foundation for anyone who would like to make a donation honoring a Wellstar physician, caregiver or team member by visiting www.Wellstar.org/wccg. 100% of the donation will support the Foundation’s Emergency Assistance Fund, which offers emergency financial support to our healthcare workers and team members who experience unforeseen catastrophic events.
