When I worked at DaVita Kidney Care, the dietitian group selected the pineapple as their team’s symbol. A sign of hospitality, friendship and welcome, the pineapple is the perfect symbol for this caring, knowledgeable and supportive group. I never noticed pineapples before then but now I notice them everywhere: clothes, dishtowels, dinnerware, pottery, keychains, door knockers, finials and, of course, at the grocery store. Now pineapples are a sign reminding me of the friends I made and learned so much from at DaVita—sweet!
Pineapples—a sweet sign for welcome

What a wonderful way to learn the meaning of the pineapple. It is the perfect symbol for such a group. I was told the pineapple simply meant “welcome” in Hawaii. Your story gives this sweet fruit a refreshing quality. Enjoy a pineapple of a day!😀
Love this!!
