National Hospital Week is a celebration of the history, technology and dedicated professionals that make the nation’s hospitals exceptional places to receive care. Sponsored by the American Hospital Association (AHA), the annual event is a time to recognize hospital staff, promote hospitals’ mission of health and wellness, and celebrate the top quality care that the nation’s hospitals provide.
The 2016 theme is “Health Care from the Heart”. This year’s observance encourages us to recognize and celebrate the men and women that support community health in hospitals on a daily basis. AHA encourages us to give thanks to the men and women who make healthy communities possible.
Thank you to the hospital staff in our region for your dedication to improving the quality of care delivery in your community and for working to make care for our loved ones accessible, safer and more reliable.
