Lavender

This past weekend, Lavender was honored to be a part of Roots and Remedies' Black Health, Wealth, & Wellness Fair at the Roswell Park Community and Engagement Center in Buffalo, New York. Connecting with the community in such a meaningful way reminds us why we do what we do. Events like this highlight the importance of creating spaces where mental health and physical wellness are celebrated together. We’re grateful for the chance to meet so many inspiring individuals, engage with the community, and foster conversations about accessible mental health care. #mentalhealthmatters

Last week, our team was thrilled to gather in Tarrytown New York for our annual Lavender Team Summit. We learned and grew as a team through ANCC accredited professional development sessions, had great discussions on quality care delivery, celebrated nursing week with a pin ceremony for our Psych NPs, and really took the time to connect with one another as friends and colleagues. Most importantly, we upheld our mindset of having fun by rocking the best 80s meets 90s themed party to celebrate Lavender’s 4th trip around the sun! As a team that supports clients through virtual care and collaborates remotely, we are energized by the in-person time. We can’t wait to bring this renewed energy into the rest of the year as we focus on clinical excellence, quality care, client experience and growth as a team.

The pinning ceremony is a time-honored tradition in nursing that signifies our commitment to uphold the values of nursing, including compassion, integrity, and service to others. We adapted this tradition at Lavender by having our operations team pin our new nurses at the Annual Summit, signifying the importance of teamwork as we collaboratively serve our clients each day. Only 6% of nurse practitioners are board certified in psychiatry. Psychiatric NPs are special because they go beyond treating symptoms and advocate for comprehensive care that addresses the whole person. Congrats to this year’s cohort of Lavender Nurses & NP’s! ??
