Our nurses are the listeners, the comforters, the tireless protectors. They speak up when it matters most, and always show up. They check vitals at 3 a.m., hold hands at the hardest moments and offer calm in the chaos. Nurses are the trusted presence by the bedside, the reassuring voice in the dark, the familiar face that brings hope. To many, our nurses are more than caregivers — they are anchors of strength and an essential force at the heart of health care.
During Nurses Week, we celebrated the incredible dedication, skill and compassion of our nursing team. Our more than 1,800 nurses bring this year’s theme, The Power of Nurses, to life each day by providing exceptional care and being a constant source of hope and healing.
A host of unit-based activities took place across the system, including ice cream socials and virtual learning sessions to support collaborative communication and prevent burnout and stress. In addition, DAISY Awards were given, hands were blessed and special gifts were provided. Throughout the week, your enthusiasm and engagement made our celebrations truly special.
