Click to see our ad in Nursing Spectrum.

It’s National Nurses Week! We’re proud to honor our more than 8,000 NYC Health Hospital Corporation nurses for making a difference in our patients’ lives and helping us deliver on our mission of patients first.

This year, the theme for National Nurses Week is Delivering Quality and Innovation in Patient Care. By embracing medical technology and serving as leaders in application of best practices, improved protocols, and adherence to strict clinical standards, HHC nurses are powerful change agents in adapting methods and practices to provide our patients with only the best in health services and treatment modalities.

During National Nurses Week, we commend nurses across the HHC health system who offer clinical expertise and high quality care to patients every day.

Check out our ad in Nursing Spectrum Magazine and read some of the compelling stories of achievement among our nurses.
