Monday, May 10, 2021 - National Nursing Week gives everyone the chance to show appreciation and support.

This year, National Nurses Week runs from May 10th to 16th. For seven days, everyone has the opportunity to acknowledge the dedication, commitment, and courage that these invaluable frontline healthcare workers have displayed consistently over the past fourteen months.

“It is impossible to overstate the contributions made by our nursing staff and their colleagues all across the country,” says Cindy Amerongen, Executive Director of NLHF. “Without them, the toll of this pandemic would be so much worse.”

In addition to offering thanks for the efforts of nurses and other frontline healthcare workers, the public can provide support through donations. Due to Covid restrictions, the best and more meaningful way to donate is online at www.northernlightshealthfoundation.ca.

“Right now, with the additional COVID restrictions, we can’t accept gifts of food, toys, blankets and other goods,” says Lorna Ash, Director of Development. “But online donations are directed right to the areas of greatest need and provide our incredibly hardworking and essential nurses with the most support possible.”

Please make a donation to the Greatest Needs Fund today and support the projects and services that support nurses and healthcare workers! Just click to donate!
