Growing Gratitude: Highlights from Harvest of Thanks

Created to express gratitude to frontline employees, the Harvest of Thanks events across all five Northside Hospital campuses empowered team members to nourish themselves and their families with healthy meals.

“It has been a very inspiring week,” said Lina Teitelbaum, Senior Employee Experience Specialist at Northside. “We’ve heard many stories about how these vegetables and fruits are impacting their lives.”

In collaboration with local nonprofit Eat Right Atlanta, the Harvest of Thanks events began in November 2025 and concluded just before Thanksgiving. Employees shared heartfelt appreciation throughout the week.

“It’s a good thing that you guys are doing for people, and my son is going to love this,” said Brandi, a 4C Cardiac PCU Secretary.

The produce provided at the event came fresh from local South Georgia farmers.

“That’s super important for us," added Lina. "So they (employees) can go in and cook those meals and show their families that they too can get fresh fruit and veggies.”
