President’s Message – Nurses Week – May 2021

Yesterday marked the start of National Nurses Week 2021. The extraordinary work our nurses do every day is so important to our patients and families that saying thank you just does not seem adequate. That’s especially been true over the past 14 months while we have all struggled through the COVID-19 pandemic. We simply couldn’t have done it without our nurses and the compassionate care they provide to all our patients. Our nurses continue to make enormous sacrifices to keep our community safe and well.

Nursing is widely considered to be America’s most-trusted profession. We hope you enjoy watching this video Click to watch this video that shares our sentiments of appreciation from Nursing leadership, physicians and other colleagues from across the Yale New Haven Health System.
