Please consider supporting the renovation of a respite room for Rochester General Hospital OBGYN staff, along with Kevin and Katie Brzezinski, who have generously committed a lead gift of $5,000 for this project, and Stacy Shea, who has donated a gift-in-kind valued at $1,500.

Teams on our obstetric units often work long hours helping to guide and care for women during their birthing experience. These women may be sick or well - all need caregivers who are engaged and caring, and can respond to emergencies with focus and precision.

Having a space to get away from a stressful situation or a stressful day can make all the difference in a provider's ability to maintain compassion and focus during clinical care. Providing a space for exercise and respite is a way of telling our team that we appreciate their efforts and care about their health and wellbeing.

This refreshed space will offer a relaxing environment to help staff rest and recharge, so they can continue to provide patients and their families with the very best health care.

Thank you for your generosity!
