Columbus Community Hospital Honors National Nurses Week
Nurses are incredibly vital to the health care world, offering compassion and caring when patients need it most.
During the week of May 5-9, Columbus Community Hospital celebrates National Nurses Week to recognize and honor our invaluable nursing staff.
“This week will show our admiration of their hard work,” said Tawny Sandifer, vice president of patient care services and the hospital’s chief nursing officer, “and acknowledge the incredible difference they make in the lives of our patients throughout our community.”
This year's celebration carries the theme “Redefining nursing,” and CCH is organizing a week brimming with appreciation and engagement opportunities. Nurses can look forward to daily prize drawings and participate in a community-spirited “change war” fundraiser, special merchandise giveaways, a meaningful Blessing of the Hands ceremony, a creative poster day and a celebratory mocktails and nacho bar.
These planned events underscore the profound impact CCH nurses have on both patient well-being and the broader hospital community. “As we celebrate National Nurses Week, I extend my heartfelt gratitude to all our incredible nurses,” said Michael T. Hansen, president and CEO of the hospital. “Your resolute devotion, compassion and commitment to providing exemplary care are truly the backbone of our hospital. Every day, you make a profound difference in the lives of our patients and families.”
The “change war” fundraiser will benefit the CCH Foundation. This initiative awards points for donations of paper money and pennies, while it deducts points for silver coins. The department with the highest point total will be rewarded with a pizza party and the honor of selecting the specific CCH Foundation account to receive the raised funds.
Columbus Community Hospital takes immense pride in recognizing its nurses during National Nurses Week. We extend our deepest appreciation for their unwavering commitment to providing extraordinary care to the community.
