Nurses connect us to what matters most when we need it most.

Nurses Week offers an opportunity to recognize the nurses and nursing care teams throughout our system who dedicate their lives to caring for others. Throughout the week of May 6-12, nurses can attend multiple events and receive tokens of appreciation as a thank-you for all they do.

All employees are encouraged to take a moment to thank a nurse for the ways they bring health, hope, and healing to our community through the ketteringhealth.org/thankanurse page.

If you’re a nurse or part of a nursing care team, be sure to look out for the below celebrations happening May 8-12 at our various campuses.
