It's Nurses week - and so far the KHMH has been honoring its nurses with a number of activities. Yesterday their nurses were pampered all day with a Spa day - which was done by the Young Women's Christian Association cosmetology class. And today a thanksgiving service was held for the nurses.
Mavis Palacio - Director of Nursing Services, KHMH
"Usually between the Second week, between the 6th and 12th of May, we celebrate nurses week, and this year, nurses week is from the 8th until the 14th May. Karl Heusner is recognizing our nurses by having some activities. On Monday we had a spa for the nurses, where they could come and get massages, and it didn't matter if it was male or female nurses; they just came. And then, on Tuesday Dr. Longworth, the C.E.O at Karl Heusner, he went on all the units and he pinned the nurses, something like this; each nurse got a pin. And today, Wednesday, we're having a thanksgiving services for the nurses. So some of the nurses are out here right now; the others are at work. This evening, we'll be having a cocktail for the nurses, and tomorrow Karl Heusner Nurses will meet with the other nurses country-wide. There will be a conference for the nurses."
The KHMH has a hundred and seventy nurses present. The week started on May 8 and will conclude on the 14.
