Borgess-Lee Memorial Hospital will celebrate and honor its nurses during National Nurses Week through Saturday.

“Florence (Nightingale) understood the value of nursing, from compassion and caring to the science and critical-thinking components,” said Katie Brick, chief nursing officer, Borgess-Lee Memorial Hospital. “Nurses at Borgess-Lee give high-quality patient care through both compassion and exceptional outcomes. On behalf of our organization, I wish to thank our nurses for their dedication and talents.”
