"Our employees' success in this program will help us reach our goals of reduced sick-time, increased employee morale, more coherent communication, optimum mental clarity and creativity, and ultimately, greater patient satisfaction…I hear a lot of positive comments coming from staff…the nurses report there is less grumbling on the floor and they are sleeping better."
Kim Hollon, Executive Vice President,
Methodist Health System
"Our staff now have the skills that help them cope better on the job. When you have employees that are feeling overwhelmed, that ultimately leads to increased absenteeism and affects reaction times. The HeartMath program has improved Delnor's work environment tremendously. Healthcare right now is a fast-paced environment. We have less resources, but we still need to give the highest quality care possible."
"I noticed an immediate improvement at work when I started using HeartMath. I feel much more relaxed, and I have more energy. I feel that I can give even better care to my patients."
Shiella DelaCruz, RN, Neonatal Intensive Care,
Methodist Health System
“The emWave PSR is a handy way to get feedback while quickly and easily reducing my stress and regaining focus and energy. It can be used almost anytime, anywhere. With only a little training, anyone can improve their sense of well-being and productivity levels. Great invention! We're using it with our employees in our stress management training."
–Sharon Gilley, Manager, People Development,
BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee
"We want to teach employees to more effectively manage stress, both at home and at work. Helping to ensure our employees' success in the HeartMath program will, in turn, help us to reach our goals of improved employee morale, reduced staff turnover, and ultimately greater patient satisfaction."

"HeartMath is different, because you not only draw on a positive experience, but with practice you can actually train your body to react the same way it did when you initially had that positive experience."
Debbie Charlton, Director of Cardiovascular Services,
Shands at AGH
“I love the ease, size and sheer physical feel of emWave. It’s so easy to use and what a great way to have heart and mind come together regardless of where you happen to be—before meetings, handling the unexpected event, and just to get a clear focus on whatever you’re doing.”
Jennie Chin Hansen, RN, MS, FAAN, Senior Fellow,

" The HeartMath programs have enabled our leaders to sustain peak performance, to manage more efficiently in a changing environment, and to maintain a work/life balance… I believe without HeartMath, we could not have reached our potential."
Tom Wright,
COO,
Delnor-Community Hospital, Chicago IL.
“Before I learned the [HeartMath] tools I was wondering…is it possible to stay in health care and be healthy? My options were to quit health care and look into another field in order to stay balanced, or cut my work load in half, which was not realistic. Besides, I loved the work I do but it completely drained me. Between the juggling of the work and the intensity, I was so exhausted, resentful and tired, and there was no end in sight. After I learned the HeartMath tools, I realized that I can have more energy and get more accomplished and be excited to stay in health care.”
Mary Laubinger, RN,
Director of Quality
"HeartMath combines leading-edge science with the wisdom of ancient healers. The emWave PC technology makes it fun and easy to practice. Now, emWave allows you to experience the stress-reducing, health-enhancing benefits of HeartMath at home, in the office, or on the road."
-- Jim Castle, President and CEO, Ohio Hospital Association
“I have been amazed at the difference between using emWave compared to other forms of focusing your energy or relaxation techniques. This is an easy tool to keep with you and use whenever you want the benefit of improved performance, whether it's dealing with a stressful situation or problem solving. I have also found it helpful before you go to sleep. Thanks for helping connect our mind and heart!”
-- Cathleen Nelson, President, United Healthcare Partners
"I have been using the emWave for about a month and have found that it helps me to slow down and calm down just at the right times. I have also been traveling quite a bit and it is a perfect travel companion. It's simple and it's science -- all rolled into one device! I would highly recommend it to other nursing leaders, and in fact to anyone looking for better health and less stress.”
-- Pamela B. Edwards, EdD, MSN, RN, BC, Director, Education Services,
Duke University Health System
