 A Word From Our President
National Nurses Week is May 6 -12. National Nurses Week is celebrated to raise public awareness of the value of nursing and to help educate the public about the vital role nurses play in meeting the health care needs of the communities they serve.
I would like to take this opportunity to personally thank the nursing staff at Carson Health. Providing our patients with your knowledge, compassion, and care is something we pride ourselves in.
