County Executive George Latimer Statement On Nurses Week 2019

“Everyone will – at some point – need the assistance of a nurse. Whether they are bringing new life into the world, caring for those dealing with illness, sickness or trauma or making the final moments of one’s life comfortable, nurses are on the front lines of today’s health care. This week, just like we should every other week, we recognize nurses for the tireless, dedicated – oftentimes behind the scenes - work they put in. They care for us when we need it most and we must be sure to care for them.”
