 National Nurses Week

Dear Editor,

This National Nurses Week, May 6-12, Memorial Health honors all the nursing team members who provide exceptional, high-quality care to our patients. Nurses across Lincoln and Logan County work in a variety of settings, including at Lincoln Memorial Hospital, as well as in clinics, patient homes, local nursing homes and assisted living centers.

There are nearly five million registered nurses nationwide, which represents the largest healthcare profession in America. Yet numbers alone cannot capture their impact. Every day, our nurses blend scientific expertise with compassion, caring for patients during their most vulnerable moments.


[to top of second column in this letter]

A nursing career requires a lifetime dedicated to continuous learning and service. I feel proud and honored to work alongside so many kind, talented nursing team members who have made that commitment to our patients and communities. While nursing can be challenging, it also brings many rewards and the confidence that we truly make a difference in people’s lives.
This week, please take a few moments to thank the nursing professionals in your life for their commitment and for all the work they do.

Sincerely,
Roxanne Stelle
Chief Nursing Officer
Lincoln Memorial Hospital
