The Power of Green

Every day, our Crossroads care teams head out in the community in our signature green color. It helps identify our staff as part of the Crossroads team. It also raises our profile and conveys a sense of professionalism and consistency. But we’re often asked why we ask our office staff to wear green.

In our dynamic workplace, where each day presents new challenges and opportunities, fostering a strong sense of unity and support among our staff is paramount. One of the most powerful ways we can achieve this is by coming together to wear green in the office to show our unwavering support for the dedicated individuals who represent our green brand in the field every day.

Green, the color of peace, harmony, and calmness, embodies the core values and mission of our organization. It symbolizes our commitment to our patients and families. When we don green attire in the office, it's not just a matter of clothing; it's a declaration of our collective dedication to these ideals.

This simple act of wearing green serves as a powerful visual reminder of our shared purpose. It sends a clear and compelling message that we stand with our colleagues in the field, whether they are providing care to patients, supporting families, or spreading the word about what we do in the community. Hospice is all about being part of a team, contributing our unique skills and strengths to fulfill a common mission both in the field and in the office.

But the significance of wearing green extends beyond symbolism. It enhances team spirit, nurtures a sense of belonging, and promotes a feeling of camaraderie. When we see our colleagues and leadership proudly wearing green, it fosters a sense of inclusivity. This, in turn, fuels our motivation to work together, reinforcing our commitment to a team approach to patient care. Together, we are an unstoppable team, ready to face any challenge and deliver the very best in end-of-life care.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Breast Cancer Awareness Month is a key time to remember the importance of early detection through regular breast self-exams, clinical screenings, and mammograms. This is the cornerstone of successful treatment and improved survival rates.

With a physician’s order, Crossroads staff can receive screening mammograms, diagnostic mammograms, 3D mammograms, and breast MRIs at no cost by scheduling through Nomi Health’s Everyone Health app.

The Everyone Health app can be downloaded from the app store or Google Play.
