Today we’d like to introduce you to Todd Walker.
Hi Todd, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstories.
Morning Rounds Coffee was started by three orthopedic surgeons finishing their last year of surgical training in Greenville, South Carolina. During our years of training, we noticed the stress and wear that was affecting all healthcare workers’ mental and physical health (Doctors, Nurses, Therapists, students, all hospital workers, etc).
When the COVID pandemic began, this burden was significantly heightened. We noticed there were no businesses or organizations that’s sole purpose was to raise awareness and financial support for healthcare workers. No one drinks more coffee than healthcare workers. And coffee has a way of bringing people together, especially the medical team working hard every day to serve the community.
We all share an appreciation for quality coffee, and it is a vital part of many healthcare workers’ everyday routines. “Morning Rounds” are where physicians, nurses, therapists, and case workers, would spend time visiting each patient on the hospital floor and it is common for many team leaders to bring in coffee before these rounds to build team commodore.
From this idea "Morning Rounds Coffee" was born. Our mission is to recognize the commitment and sacrifice that all healthcare workers offer every day, by providing exceptionally tasting coffee and contributing profits to healthcare worker organizations.
