Spreading Kindness One Button at a Time

 Terry Whittle was having a bad day when she stopped by to say hello to Health System Executive Petrina McGrath in her office at the Ajax Pickering Hospital.

“When Petrina heard I was a bit down, she gave me a ‘kindness button,’ which really made me feel great,” said Terry, who is a Technician with the Medical Device Reprocessing Department at the Ajax Pickering Hospital. 

Terry learned that Petrina had obtained the buttons from the Love and Kindness Project Foundation and decided to order some for herself to give out to staff, physicians, and volunteers across the Ajax Pickering Hospital. 

“It’s a reminder to our teams about how much the care they deliver to patients and the support they provide to each other is appreciated during these challenging times,” explained Terry.
