With today’s COVID-19 challenges, our hospitals are working hard to protect lives. What better time to have a month of celebration?
National Hospital Week May 10-16, 2020
National Hospital Week is May 10-16, 2020 and it recognizes hospitals for their services. It’s a time when the country, together as one, celebrates the hope and healing that our hospitals provide for us.
Hospitals play such an important role in our communities. Now, more than ever, we are so proud of them. This week, let’s make sure our hospital staffs feel the love. Think of unique ways, even during this pandemic, to show our support to hospital workers.
For example, in this video Staten Islanders show appreciation to hospital staff.
Another example is this video that shows New Yorkers cheering for medical professionals. Positive moments like these shine a bright light during this dark time.
We can show our appreciation to hospital staff by using #MyHospital on social media. Download this template and highlight something special about your hospital. Join us in showing our hospitals how much we appreciate them. You can share how your hospital has helped you or write well wishes to healthcare workers. Remember to share on social media with the hashtag #MyHospital.
National Nurses Week May 6-12, 2020
Nurses care for patients, advocate for patients, and provide hope for patients. They do all this and make it look easy. Not just anyone can do what they do. It takes a special, strong, smart, and caring person to fill the shoes of a nurse.
During this pandemic, nurses are making personal sacrifices for the health of others. National Nurses Week allows us to recognize them and show our overwhelming gratitude. Here are some special dates during National Nurses Week.
May 6 – National Nurses Day
May 8 – National Student Nurse Day
May 12 – International Nurses Day
