Empowerment for those
who care for others
Kathleen Patrick, RN, CFRE · Principal & CEO, The Grace & Gratitude Group
For the nurses, the clinicians, and the foundations that hold them — a practice rooted in gratitude, guided by trust.
Three kinds of caregiving,
one practice that meets them all
For Nurses & Clinicians
Burnout is the cost of paying attention for too long without replenishment. Coaching and small-group circles led by a former PICU nurse who has stood in your shoes.
Clinical Wellness → — ii —For Foundations & Executives
Hospital margins are tightening, clinician turnover is climbing, and traditional fundraising plays are losing traction. The Grace & Gratitude Fundraising Model™ rebuilds donor relationships from gratitude up — with measurable lift in physician engagement and first-time giving.
The Fundraising Model → — iii —For Family Caregivers
If you are holding a parent, a partner, or a child — and quietly losing yourself in the holding — there is a way back. We will build a rhythm that lets you keep showing up without disappearing.
Caregiver Support →A nurse. A fundraiser.
A translator of care.
