Bayhealth is driven to help its employees reduce stress and maintain their health and wellness. One way it does this is through a Planetree initiative called Code Lavender, which uses evidence-based relaxation and restoration interventions. Not surprisingly, Code Lavender requests from staff have grown as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Code Lavender requests involve other Bayhealth team members many of whom have also had an increase in their workloads due to the pandemic setting up and taking down a universal kit that includes items such as LED candles, aromatherapy inhalers, and a back/neck massager within the department where the request originated. To address the increase in requests and the challenges this presented, Bayhealth Volunteer Services Manager Carrie Hart, CVA, decided to reach out to the Bayhealth Foundation to see if they could help purchase kits for departments to own permanently and to use at any time.
