Nurses Week is an annual event celebrated across the U.S. The historic effort to create and achieve national nurse recognition started in the 1950s.

Today, Nurses Week is dedicated to recognizing nurses' important role in healthcare. From May 6-12, hospitals, healthcare organizations, and communities joined to honor all nurses and spotlight those who continue to make lasting contributions to the profession.

At Opportunities for Inclusion, our CEO Gabriel Vonleh acknowledged our team of dedicated nurses with the humble gift of a plant as a symbol of the continuous love and care they deliver day by day to all of us.

Our participants also showed their appreciation and signed a handmade card for each one of them.
