During a Facebook Live event Wednesday, the Avedis Foundation presented a banner of support to local health care workers; the large sign was covered in signatures and well wishes from the community.
That's not all.
Avedis announced plans to fund the design and construction of a calming space for healthcare professionals at SSM Health St. Anthony Hospital-Shawnee to provide a respite amid the demands of the pandemic.
A 1,700 square-foot Rejuvenation Suite, planned and designed by Rees Associates of Oklahoma City, will offer several features promoting employee wellness, such as a meditation area, yoga stations, massage chairs, relaxing seating areas, a water feature, and a projection wall to recreate sounds and imagery from nature in a soothing ambiance.
