National Nursing Week is May 8-14

The week of May 8 is dedicated to expressing gratitude to nurses across the country. It’s a time to reflect on the value nurses bring to our health-care system.

This year’s theme is “Our Nurses. Our Future.” Nurses play many roles in a patient’s health journey. Every day, nurses show their courage and commitment to helping people and our community.
