Happy Nurse's Week!
Recently, in celebration of Nurses’ Week, we gathered to recognize our nurses and honored many of them with much-deserved awards. This incredibly talented and hard-working group of Eastside partners care for our patients every day.
Our nurses heal our patients' hearts, minds, bodies and souls. They embody what it means to be compassionate, they are quick to set aside personal anxiety to help others and though their patients may forget their names, patients will never forget how their nurses made them feel while they were treated here at Eastside. Please join me in thanking our Eastside nurses for all they do and wish each of them a happy Nurses' Week as you see them about the hospital and in our community! To see more photos from the 2015 Nursing Awards ceremony at Eastside, visit our Facebook page and be sure to leave a congratulatory message for the award recipients.
