“Rising together, we will lift each other up. Rising together, we will advance our journey. Rising together, we will manifest the future.” – Terry Davis

National Nurses Week kicks off May 6 and ends on May 12. This Nurses week, we are focusing on how our nurses rise together to make incredible differences.

The celebration is just a week long, but the positive influence nurses have on health care is appreciated every day. Be sure to check out some of the activities happening as we honor our nurses this week.
