Celebrating HoG Nurses During National Nurses Week May 6–12
National Nurses Week begins each year on May 6 and ends on May 12, Florence Nightingale's birthday and International Nurses Day. Just as Nightingale carried her lamp through the night to check on wounded soldiers, today’s nurses have shined their light on everyone in our community.
While our celebration of this important profession is in May, every day is a great day to celebrate nurses and show them our appreciation! This year’s theme for International Nurses Day is “Caring for nurses strengthens economies,” which focuses on the importance of a healthy nursing workforce. We know that nurses’ health, both physical and mental, is critical to ensuring health around the globe. Nurses step forward to help others and are a special breed of healers and doers. We appreciate everything that Hemophilia of Georgia Nurses do every day and want to express our love and support for everything they do for our community!
A big shout out to HoG’s amazing nursing staff: Stephanie Matz, Vice President of Clinical Services, Jennifer Crabbe, Director of Nursing; Rebecca Babkiewicz, Director of Telehealth; Courtney Gustin, Clinical Nurse Coordinator; and our AMAZING team of Outreach Nurses: Katrina Bennett, Alicia Casucci, Karen Clark, Amen Detti, Theresa Knapp, Hollie Macenczak, and Shelby Stroughter. Additionally, we celebrate Julie Hayman, Vice President of Payer Relations and Revenue Cycle, who is a registered nurse.
