Dear Team,
As Nurses Week approaches, we want to take a moment to acknowledge and celebrate the invaluable contributions of our nursing staff here at Menno Campus. This week, from May 6th to May 12th, we have the opportunity to express our gratitude and appreciation for the dedication, compassion, and professionalism demonstrated by our nurses, day in and day out.
Our nurses are the heartbeat of our care services, providing comfort, support, and skilled care to those who need it most. From our direct care team to our Managers of Care, educators and Directors of Care, our nursing team’s tireless efforts ensure the well-being and dignity of our residents, fostering an environment of healing, compassion, and respect. Their commitment to enhancing the quality of life for those under our care is truly commendable.
Throughout the challenges we’ve faced, our nursing team has remained steadfast in their commitment to excellence. They’ve adapted to new protocols, embraced innovative technologies, and demonstrated remarkable resilience in the face of adversity.
During Nurses Week, let’s take the time to celebrate and honor the invaluable contributions of our nurses. Whether it’s a simple thank you, a kind gesture, or a thoughtful note of appreciation, let’s make sure our nursing staff know just how much they are valued and admired.
To our nurses: Thank you for all that you do. You make a difference in the lives of so many, and we are incredibly grateful for all that you do.
Please join me in celebrating Nurses Week on Friday, May 10th for lunch – 11:30am – 2:30pm – at the Menno Hospital Chapel and expressing our heartfelt appreciation to our amazing nursing team.
Happy Nurses Week!
Sujata Connors, CEO
On behalf of the Executive and Management Teams, we thank our amazing nurses!!!
