Every year from May 6th through May 12th we celebrate National Nurses Week!! This annual celebration recognizes the dedication of America’s nurses and honors them for taking care of us in our most vulnerable moments. National Nurses Week was first celebrated in 1954 to mark Florence Nightingale’s 100th birthday. Florence Nightingale was a British nurse, statistician and reformer known as the founder of modern nursing. Today we would like to recognize our AMAZING nurses, Morgan Struck and Heather Markham. I think we can all agree that we are very fortunate to have two such amazing nurses at Support, Inc. who constantly strive to ensure the individuals we serve are getting the best care possible and who also provide endlessly support to all that are providing that care. Thank you for all that you do, and we have no doubt that Florence would be very proud!
