National Nurses Week recognizes nurses with the theme Nurses Make a Difference, which honors the incredible nurses who embody the spirit of compassion and care in every health care setting.
Santa Barbara County Public Health Department’s nursing staff will be honored May 7, at the Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisor’s meeting.
Nurses make a difference as trusted advocates who ensure individuals, families, and communities receive quality patient care and services.
Nurses are recognized for their contributions to the health care system, both in their role as expert clinicians in diverse care settings and as leaders who can dramatically influence the quality of care and overall performance of the healthcare system.
The nursing profession plays an essential role in improving patient outcomes, increasing access, addressing health disparities, and achieving health equity.
Every day, nurses step forward embracing new technologies, resolving emerging issues, and accepting ever-changing roles in their profession. They lead the way for their patients, colleagues, organizations, and the health care industry as a whole.
Public Health Department nurses creatively and passionately balance daily workloads to ensure the continued provision of core and essential public health services to vulnerable populations.
National Nurses Week begins May 6, marked as RN Recognition Day, and ends May 12, the birthday of Florence Nightingale, founder of nursing as a modern profession.
The Santa Barbara County Public Health Department has Registered Nurses that provide exemplary service to the entire community.
At the May 7 Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisor’s meeting, Supervisor Joan Hartmann will present a proclamation recognizing nurses’ commitment toward improving the health care status of members in our community through leadership and expertise.
