Clark Regional Medical Center Marks National Nurses Month, Celebrates the Year of the Nurse

Clark Regional Medical Center is proud to join the American Nurses Association (ANA) in celebrating National Nurses Month this May, in an expanded recognition of the positive impact our nurses have on the health and well-being of our community. National Nurses Week – observed annually May 6-12 – honors the men and women around the country who have dedicated their lives to caring for those who are at their most vulnerable and in need. This year, as the invaluable contributions of nurses have gained increased awareness amid the fight against COVID-19, that celebration is being extended into a National Nurses Month.
 
“Our heroic nurses are always on the front lines of caring for the sick and injured,” said Barbara Kinder, chief clinical officer of Clark Regional Medical Center. “Their compassion, clinical expertise and servant leadership are fundamental to our ability to provide the high-quality care our patients have come to rely on. I am so proud to celebrate and honor their hard work – and not just during Nurses Month, but year-round. Their impact is an essential part of our mission of Making Communities Healthier.”
 
The roots of National Nurses Week can be traced back to 1953, when U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare employee Dorothy Sutherland suggested a national day of recognition for nurses. After a series of proclamations and resolutions through the decades, the American Nurses Association affirmed a joint resolution of the U.S. Congress by establishing May 6 as National Nurses Day in 1982. The ANA expanded the celebration to a week in 1991 and, in 1993, designated May 6-12 as the permanent annual dates to mark National Nurses Week.
 
In addition to this year’s expanded, month-long observance, the World Health Organization (WHO) has also declared 2020 as the Year of the Nurse. It is another well-deserved recognition for a group of professionals that could not have come at a more appropriate time.

The community will notice apricot bows around the facility. The Kentucky Nurses Association has launched the Apricot Ribbon Campaign to support nurses in a unique way that honors social distancing while lifting spirits. The color of the ribbon chosen has significance. Apricot serves as the color of nursing and displays optimism and warmth. These are visible reminders of the tireless efforts and dedication demonstrated by our nurses and all front line healthcare workers.​

“By their very nature, nurses are special people who are committed to selflessly serving and caring for others no matter the circumstance,” Kinder says. “During our fight against COVID-19, our nurses have truly stepped up and are making countless sacrifices daily to ensure the safety of patients and each other, and to help protect our community. They are heroes in every sense of the word.”
 
Clark Regional Medical Center is encouraging our community members to leave their own special note of thanks at www.thankahealthcarehero.com.
