Nurses inspire, innovate and influence

Please join the Home Health Foundation family of agencies, Home Health VNA, Merrimack Valley Hospice and HomeCare, Inc., as we recognize the millions of nurses who make a remarkable difference in the lives of patients and families during National Nurses Week, which is celebrated May 6 through 12. This special week is a perfect time for all of us to pause and recognize all nurses for the expert medical care and support they provide in a wide variety of settings. Nurses offer gifts beyond the medical care they provide. They calm fears, foster hope, and provide reassurance, often during what is a difficult or stressful time.

Nursing has been at the heart of our service since the agency’s inception in 1895. Today, we have nearly 260 registered and licensed professional nurses providing leading-edge, compassionate home health and hospice care wherever our patients call home. Their efforts in the home and in our offices allow us to provide a full spectrum of medical care and support in more than 110 cities and towns in this region. Many of our talented nurses have specialty certifications and extensive training in complex illnesses. All of them provide award-winning clinical care that has earned our agencies a stellar reputation as the leader in home health and hospice care. Their commitment to quality care and compassion is both heartwarming and inspiring.

In honor of National Nurses Week, we would like to honor nurses everywhere and to especially recognize the contributions of the nurses at Home Health Foundation.
