Every year from May 6th to 12th, nurses are recognized for their service and dedication to caring for others and improving the health of patients nationwide through National Nurses Week.

At TriHealth, our nurses ensure our patients feel how they want to feel: seen, heard and deeply cared for. No matter the challenges, they commit unwavering dedication to providing the best care possible for our patients – and we are a stronger nursing community because of everything they do.

This week, and every week, we thank our TriHealth nurses for their contributions, compassion and commitment to serving others.
