Meet the candle that works as hard as you do. The NEOM candle doubles as both a scented candle and massage. Simply light the candle and wait for the oil to melt.

NEWARK, NJ — Mar. 25, 2021. As National Nurses Week approaches, the call to recognize nurses for their compassion and dedication to their work and to the patients they serve grows even stronger. Hackensack Meridian Health recognizes the importance of public appreciation for nurses and how easy it is to thank them at Carepostcard.com.
Hackensack Meridian Health, the largest integrated health network in New Jersey, is partnering with Wambi to make it easy for all Americans to share their appreciation for frontline heroes by sending a Carepostcard.
“The unwavering dedication, commitment and courage of our healthcare workers make them true heroes, especially during the pandemic. Their selfless sacrifice in service of patients saves lives every day, and they deserve our deepest gratitude and admiration. Carepostcard allows everyone to do their part by saying thank you,” said Tria Deibert, Vice President, Culture, Hackensack Meridian Health.
Last year, during the first wave of the pandemic and in celebration of National Nurses Week, recognition and culture transformation company Wambi announced the relaunch of Carepostcard.com, inviting the public to honor those on the frontlines battling COVID-19 by sharing their gratitude or a personal story with a digital postcard. Anyone can now create a Carepostcard for a healthcare worker, whether to the general healthcare community or for a specific care provider, sharing a small token of appreciation for those risking their own health and safety to care for others every day.
Wambi CEO and Co-founder Rebecca Metter added, “We know Americans are looking for new ways to express their continued support for frontline workers. Carepostcard is a powerful outlet for these intentions. We’ve seen great success with Hackensack Meridian Health, with grateful patients offering thousands of Carepostcards to those providing caring, motivated, and exceptional care. We look forward to extending this gratitude to as many healthcare heroes as possible through the public platform.”
Those giving or receiving Carepostcards have the option to share posts to their social networks or remain anonymous. Carepostcard is integrated with the Wambi platform which is deployed across healthcare organizations like Hackensack Meridian Health nationwide. Wambi delivers a patient-driven healthcare employee performance and engagement platform aimed at promoting gratitude and empowering compassionate care. Through its gamified digital system informed by real-time patient and peer recognition, team members are armed with their individual data as a means to uplift and inspire behavioral change.
Send a Carepostcard today. It’s a meaningful way to show our healthcare heroes that we care.

Its gamified technology delivers real-time feedback from patients and other team members that recognizes, rewards, and motivates optimal care. With the proven ability to increase workforce engagement, reduce clinician burnout, and drive higher patient satisfaction, Wambi improves human connection for all.
Wambi launched Carepostcard and the Compassionate Care Movement™ in July 2017 as a public way to promote compassion in healthcare.

Now, Carepostcard has evolved into something much bigger. Since COVID-19, the ability to share gratitude with the frontline is more necessary than ever. Through Carepostcard, every American can share a story, a moment, or a simple declaration of gratitude for those who have impacted them in ways big and small. Through illuminating positive moments and expressing gratitude, those risking their lives on the frontlines can be recognized meaningfully and on-goingly in ways they whole-heartedly deserve.
“Small acts of kindness, when multiplied by millions of people, can transform the world.”
CEO and Co-Founder of Wambi, Rebecca Metter, alongside healthcare advisor Dr. David Shulkin, the Ninth U.S. Secretary of Veteran Affairs, drove robust discussion about patient experience, from macro strategies down to micro solutions.

Here are some key takeaways from the conversation:

Wambi focuses on addressing the patient and team member experience through a unified and holistic recognition and engagement tool. In light of a major new release of our platform, which includes real-time actionable patient and team member experience insights that lead to improved human connection and drive behavior change and uplift people where it matters, we invite you to request a demo today. As a special gift, you will get a free copy of The Rabbit Effect by Dr. Kelli Harding with a completed Wambi demo. The Rabbit Effect is a meaningful read on the science of kindness.
It is often challenging to find the words in times like this but so important we do and show up. Not just for our own self-reflection but the people around us who mean so much and should not have to fight for their basic human rights. What happened in Atlanta is abhorrent and we all must come together to #StopAsianHate for our AAPI sisters and brothers. Silence is acceptance and we must speak out against hate and do so inclusive of ALL marginalized groups. As part of my personal commitment to this, some of you may have heard me mention Atlanta on the panel today when health equity was discussed. All of our pain, healing work, liberation can coexist and will collectively make us stronger as individuals and a human race.
Workplaces are often another extension of our society and it is always my goal to exemplify and create the environment we want to see in the world. A space that respects all voices, perspectives and celebrates our unique heritages and diversity. And first and foremost, a space that leads with compassion not only recognizing the suffering of others but driven to take action, understand and uplift one another. It is through listening and seeking to understand that we can begin this important work.
To all of our amazing AAPI team members and beyond: We stand with you. We support you. We offer our compassion and what’s more, we will not be silent.
With strength and love, Rebecca Metter | CEO, Wambi
