The Healing Heart of Health Care
This year’s theme acknowledges that a hospital is more than just a healing place — it’s a beacon of hope. Regardless of the patient’s age and condition, hospitals not only provide health care and services, but also promote optimism. These loving, dedicated professionals deserve recognition within the local community and beyond. National Hospital Week unites medical professionals nationwide to celebrate the services they provide in all areas of health care. In good times and in bad, these medical professionals promote health, well-being, and trust amongst both patients and their surrounding communities. The role they play can’t be underestimated — not just this week, but all year long.
