ºüÀêÊÓƵ is proud to be a national leader in healthcare and medical/life sciences research. The area’s medical institutions draw top talent from around the globe.
For the sixth consecutive year, the ºüÀêÊÓƵ reaffirmed this reputation and honored local nurses with the Nurses: The Heart of Health Care program — a contest and section supported by presenting sponsor and title sponsors ,Ìý,Ìý²¹²Ô»åÌý.
The nurses encountered throughout the program share several identifying characteristics: compassion, respect and empathy. They work in hospitals, clinics, schools, residential facilities, in-home care and even virtually. They educate, console, relate, comfort and endear themselves to patients and families.
The program began with a call for nominations. The public was encouraged to nominate nursing professionals who made an impact on the lives of loved ones and the community at large. The community answered with over 230 nominations.
These tireless professionals deserve unfading recognition during National Nurses Week, which is being celebrated May 6 - May 12, 2022.
