2026 Kindness Coin Request Form

Kindness Coins

As part of this initiative, the C.A.R.E. Team is acknowledging team members who engage in acts of kindness and compassion with a Kindness Coin – a small but meaningful symbol of appreciation.

Team members who wish to participate can complete the request form (link above) to request a bag of kindness coins. Please be sure to include your name and address. A bag of 3–5 Kindness Coins will be sent via inter-office mail or delivered to your location for those at the main hospital.

To support safety and infection prevention, please practice good hand hygiene and use hand sanitizer before sharing coins.

 

Passing Kindness Forward

Kindness Coins are intended to be shared. When you receive a coin, you may:

    • Keep it as a reminder of appreciation (some coins have holes and can be clipped behind badges)
    • Pass it along to another team member you observe performing a random act of kindness

Note: Kindness Coins have no monetary value and are separate from the Cooper Coins Celebrations Portal.

How Teams Can Participate

All team members – clinical and non-clinical, inpatient and outpatient – are encouraged to take part.

Inpatient Teams

    • Recognize colleagues who support one another during busy shifts.
    • Thank team members who demonstrate compassion with patients and families.
    • Pass coins between shifts to highlight acts of teamwork and care.

Outpatient & Ambulatory Teams

    • Acknowledge teamwork during high-volume clinic days.
    • Recognize staff who enhance the patient experience through communication and support.
    • Share coins during huddles or team meetings.

Everyone

    • Offer encouragement or a helping hand.
    • Recognize behind-the-scenes support.
    • Say thank you – and pass it on.

As we celebrate FIVE years of Random Acts of Kindness at Cooper, thank you for helping create a culture where compassion, appreciation, and connection are part of every day.
