Another Act of Kindess promotes education of our future nurses and respiratory therapists by providing scholarships to these students. AAK has awarded over $4,500 in scholarships to local students. AAK plans to increase the number of scholarships given every year.

Another Act of Kindness is providing Code Lavender comfort items for family members of patients who are in intensive care units in local hospitals. These include: adult coloring books, lavender sachets, colored pencils, lip balm, hand lotion, and water bottles. Donations of these items are accepted and greatly appreciated.

Another Act of Kindness is providing partially grant funded retreats for nurses and other front-line workers for self-care. These retreats help to combat and cope with compassion fatigue, vicarious trauma and burnout which will improve job satisfaction, nurse retention, and overall better mental health.
