Nurses make a difference for patients, families, and their colleagues–and Nurses Week offers an opportunity to recognize our nurses and nursing care teams who do just that. 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 celebrations listed below, which will be happening throughout May on our various campuses.
