National Nurses Day: The Power of Nurses to Transform Health

In celebration of National Nurses Day, I want to take a moment to express my profound gratitude and admiration for each of you. The compassion, expertise and resilience you demonstrate every day truly embodies the heart of healthcare at CaroMont Health.

Nursing is far more than a profession—it is a calling that touches lives at their most vulnerable moments. Your hands heal, your voices comfort, and your presence reassures when patients and families face their greatest challenges. The science of your clinical expertise combined with the art of your compassionate care creates the foundation upon which our entire healthcare system stands.

In the past year, I have witnessed countless examples of your extraordinary skill and empathy. These moments may seem ordinary to you, but they are extraordinary to those you serve. Your work fundamentally changes lives—not only in acute moments of care, but in the lasting impressions you leave on patients and families who remember your kindness and skill long after they've left our hospitals and facilities.

As we look to the future of healthcare, nurses remain at the forefront of innovation, adaptation and patient advocacy. Your insights drive quality improvement, your feedback shapes our policies, and your dedication ensures that CaroMont Health continues to deliver exceptional care to our community.

As we celebrate National Nurses Day and CARES Week, please take a moment to reflect on the profound impact of your work. Your colleagues and I see your dedication, appreciate your commitment and value your incredible contribution to our mission.

It is my greatest professional honor to work alongside you. Thank you for everything you do, every day, to make CaroMont Health a place of hope and healing.

With deepest appreciation,

Beth Canipe MSN, RN, NEA-BC
Vice President, Chief Nursing Officer
