From administering medicine, to knowing how to treat illnesses and wounds, to being resourceful on a case-by-case basis, and teaching us how to take care of ourselves, nurses are incredible. They help every department immensely in the process of achieving its goals everyday. They are the bridge, connecters, and healers between patients and the rest of healthcare. We thank them for the long hours training to become professionals in this career, so we can all benefit from their dedication, especially during tough moments in patients’ lives.

Here’s what a couple of departments that work alongside nurses had to say.

Radiology Manager, Kelly Gould: “They’re invested, compassionate, attentive, and just their presence of being there for others… I would say Cody shines.”

Sports Medicine Specialist, Tracy Tomjack: “The nurses are very caring and helpful and really look after our patients.”

Ruth Heinert: “As a Director of Nursing, I have the privilege and honor of witnessing the impact that nursing has every single day - not just on patients, but with families, communities, and one another. Nursing is way more than just a profession; it is a calling that demands compassion, resilience, critical thinking, and an unwavering commitment to care.

Thank you nursing staff, at all levels and departments, for the care you provide, the standards you uphold, and the difference you make everyday.”
