Celebrating HoG Nurses During National Nurses Week May 6–12

By Stephanie Matz, Vice President of Clinical Services

Published April 28, 2026

 

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 “Our Nurses. Our Future. Empowered Nurses Save Lives,” This theme underscores how crucial nurses are in delivering trusted, compassionate primary care that improves patient outcomes and helps health systems respond to the world’s most pressing health issues. 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 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.
