The Toolkit
Ways to celebrate your team
Recognition
Daily shout-outs on the huddle board, a "transport MVP" award voted by nursing units, years-of-service recognition, and certification pinning for new CHTs - Transport Week is the natural moment to award credentials publicly.
Visibility
Invite executives to shadow a transporter for two hours. Nothing changes leadership's understanding of flow faster than pushing a bed through a full house at 10am.
Community
Department breakfast or cookout, a photo wall of the team, thank-you cards from patient families, and social posts tagging NAHTM and your health system.
Make it count twice: Transport Week is also the highest-attention moment of the year to announce a department certification initiative - recognition today, investment tomorrow. Here's the department pathway.
National Transport Week is hosted by NAHTM - follow their announcements for this year's official dates and events.
