Mindfulness Moment

In an effort to support team members with stress management, a new mindful moment tone will be heard at Baystate Medical Center starting this Monday, Feb. 22. The idea brought forward by Baystate Medical Center nurse Cat Powers, RN, S64, is the creation of a soft Mindfulness Moment Tone that BMC team members will hear through the hospital’s overhead speakers. Three quiet tones will play four times during a 24-hour period to invite all team members to pause and take three deep breaths:

One breath for yourself
A second breath for your colleagues
A third breath for our patients, families, and communities

The Mindfulness Moment bowl was played by Rev. Ute Schmidt, M.Ed., manager, Spiritual Services, BMC and the effort is supported by BMC’s Integrative Healing Arts Council and CNO Christine Klucznik.
