Today is National Nurses Day and marks the first day of National Nurses Week, which runs through May 12th. Madison County Health Department wishes to recognize our hardworking and committed nursing staff and nurse volunteers, who have dedicated the past several weeks to helping residents through the COVID-19 pandemic. The work we are doing could not be done without them. Day in and day out, they go above and beyond to be there for our residents who have become victims of this virus. Our nurses help to relieve anxieties of COVID patients by explaining the disease, how to monitor their symptoms, and how to properly clean and isolate. These nurses are a dedicated group of professionals, who provide compassionate care and needed education for those affected by COVID-19.
Help us thank our nurses and all nurses this National Nurses Day for the work they do all year long to serve our community, whether vaccinating residents at Flu and Immunization Clinics, educating parents of children with elevated blood lead levels, or providing breastfeeding support to new moms. We can also help them by following all of the COVID-19 safety recommendations. The more people stay home, the more we can starve this virus, and the less people will be sick. Then they can get back to helping our residents in other ways. They are our heroes.
