Happy Nurses Week!
National Nurses Week honors the history, impact, and contributions of nurses across all roles and settings. It is a time to recognize the passionate and highly skilled individuals who dedicate their work to improving the lives of others, whether in direct patient care, leadership, education, research or operational support.
Nurses are the heartbeat of healthcare, advocating for patients, advancing practice, strengthening teams, and supporting individuals, families and communities through some of their most meaningful and challenging moments.
Please join us in recognizing and celebrating our nurses!
Stop by the mezzanine at the main hospital throughout the week to leave thank you notes for nurses on our Gratitude Board.
