Nurses - The Heart of Healthcare
The Richmond Times-Dispatch is marking National Nurses Week in May by recognizing extraordinary registered nurses who deliver high-quality care in our region.
Amid the ongoing challenges of the pandemic, the impact of nurses – on their patients and our community – has never been more significant. They have been on the front lines in battling COVID-19, facing great risk while caring for patients and families.
From central Virginia’s health care network and from the public, we sought recommendations of nurses who put patients and our community at the center of their care. In this special print section, the 10 nurses we spotlight share poignant vignettes from their lives and careers. Together, they represent the enduring commitment of thousands of their colleagues throughout the Richmond area.
We thank the Sheltering Arms Institute for serving as presenting sponsor of our National Nurses Week program. And in the stories of our highlighted caregivers, we hope you appreciate the care and compassion that they and all nurses bring to the Richmond region.
