Sulphur Springs, Texas, May 4, 2020 – CHRISTUS Mother Frances Hospital – Sulphur Springs has ONE mission: To Extend the Health Ministry of Jesus Christ.
National Nurses Week 2020
This week we celebrate Nurses! National Nurses Week 2020 begins Wednesday, May 6, through Tuesday, May 12, and celebrates nurses and their role in society. It also raises awareness about nursing as a possible career choice and educates the public about the kind of work nurses are involved. The week coincides with the birthday of Florence Nightingale, a
nurse who became famous for treating wounded soldiers during the Crimean war, and for her work in establishing nursing as a profession in its own right. Nightingale also founded a nursing school in 1860, providing the first type of professional nursing establishment in the world.
THANK YOU, Nurses!
