- Adding “Zen lounges” with soothing music, scented candles, yoga mats and massage chairs to hospitals.
- Organizing peer support groups.
- Bringing in therapy dogs.
- Facilitating “Wellness Wagon Wednesdays,” during which nurses receive products such as skin care masks, stress balls and tea.
- Providing yoga instructors to teach “poses of the week.”
- Gathering nurses’ feedback with QR codes at each Zen lounge. The health system aims to publish the data it collects in a medical journal.
