HEALTHCAST: VOLUME 43

We celebrate Nurses Week every year from May 6 to May 12 to shine a spotlight on the incredible nurses across the country. This past year, we asked more of nurses than we ever have in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic. While one week is not nearly enough, we want to take this week to share our gratitude by offering our support for the work they do every day, in times of crisis and always.

Please let me know if you would like to invite one of these incredible speakers to celebrate your nurses!
