MADISON, Wis. The men and women who work in UnityPoint Health Meriter Hospital’s ICU carry a lot of emotional weight, but they also carry a little happiness from room to room thanks to a talented coworker.
Sarah Steffes decorates the recyclable paper bags her coworkers use to carry around their personal protective equipment, such as N-95 masks and face shields. The hospital started using the bags in March, around the same time Steffes joined the team as Health Unit Coordinator.
Steffes says a coworker spotted her doodling one day and asked for a favor.
