Always treat your care team at the end of your stay! They work unbelievably hard, and so some delicious cookies are our go to to get the fabulous nurses, techs, nurse practitioners and affliliated staff.

Nice Alan! Good Idea I will make sure that my wife does something for everyone on my recovery team! Wish there is a way I could do something for the staff that is in the OR with me.
