August 10, 2022 -- Nurses Week is celebrated each year from May 6–12 to honor nurses for their contributions to the medical profession and their dedication to residents, as well as their continued sacrifices throughout the ongoing global pandemic.
This year, we asked HumanGood team members to submit InspireMe recognitions for Clinical team members. We caught up with some of those amazing nursing team members so we can continue to recognize them all year long!
