McLeod Health Celebrates Nurses Week

McLeod Health joins the American Nurses Association in recognizing National Nurses Week, which is held each year May 6 through May 12, the birthday of Florence Nightingale, the founder of modern nursing.  

We honor the work of our nurses who embody the spirit of resilience and compassion in every health setting. From delivering patient care at the bedside, to providing guidance at the leadership table, McLeod nurses have one goal in mind – improving lives through exceptional care. 

McLeod Health employs more than 3,800 licensed nurses (Registered Nurses; Advanced Practice Nurses – including Certified Nurse Anesthetists, Nurse Practitioners and Certified Nurse Midwives; as well as Licensed Practical Nurses) and each one has a critical responsibility to uphold the highest level of quality in their practice to ensure the delivery of superior health care to patients, families and their community. 

Throughout the years, nursing has progressed from traditional nursing care to more than 100 nursing specialties.  

Together, our nurses are transforming the future of health care.
