Hialeah, Fl – Hialeah Hospital is proud to honor our nurses during National Nurses
Week, May 6-12, an annual celebration that recognizes the critical role nurses perform
in our hospitals and for our community. The theme this year, Exceptional People,
Essential Care, commemorates just how indispensable our nurses have been during the
COVID-19 pandemic.
“We are grateful to all of our nurses and humbled by the hard work they do every day,”
said Michael Bell. “Nursing is one of the most rewarding careers, but also one of the
most challenging. This year it is about paying tribute to nurses and the daily impact they
have on our patients’ lives.”
Our nurses have many roles – staff nurse, nursing leader, educator, infection
preventionist, nurse practitioner and more, and they serve these roles with a passion for
the profession and a strong commitment to patient safety.
National Nurses Week is celebrated annually to coincide with the birthday of Florence
Nightingale, the founder of modern nursing. Like Florence Nightingale, our nurses have
served with passion and dedication, fighting for their patients against a pandemic that
has waxed and waned now for some 15 months. Today, as Florence Nightingale did in
her time, our nurses represent a profession of advocacy and strength and are respected
for their professionalism and devotion to their patients, their families and for each other.
Hialeah Hospital recognizes, acknowledges and trusts the strong commitment,
compassion, expertise and care our nurses display in their practice and profession,”
Michael Bell. “Now more than ever, they truly make a difference in the lives of our
community.”
