Anonymous donor leaves $1million check at California hospital to thank staff for their hard work

    An anonymous donor has left a $1million check at California hospital to thank staff for their hard work.

    Medical providers at the Dominican Hospital in Santa Cruz were cheering when they discovered the check designated entirely for employees – nurses, cleaning staff, lab techs, medical records, even mailroom staff and security guards who have worked there for at least a year.

    Full-time staff get $800, part-timers receive $600.

    The bonuses came alongside a note that showed appreciation for their hard work.

    ‘Thank you for standing up (and staying up!) to care for our community,’ it said. ‘This humankindness is what makes you heroic.’

    Hospital president Dr. Nanette Mickiewicz said the donation is a testament to their employee’s clinical excellence and their tireless dedication.

    After weeks of hard work, nursing supervisor Amy Loudon said she was amazed at the generosity of a stranger, and especially appreciative it’s being shared with all employees this week.

    ‘There are so many people who keep the hospital running,’ she said.

    ‘Nurses and doctors are getting the praise, but we couldn’t do it without the staff who clean the floors, deliver supplies, fix machines, everything. It’s a team, and I’m glad the whole team is getting a thank you.’

    She said she plans to treat herself with her own bonus.

    ‘I’m definitely going to spoil myself a little bit,’ she said.

    The do-gooder made the donation as California battles coronavirus. The state has seen over 53,000 cases and 2,194 deaths as of Monday morning.
