The weeklong celebration, which ends on what would have been Florence Nightingale’s 201st birthday, was created by the American Nurses Association (ANA) in 1994 to honor nurses’ commitment to public service and the vital role they play in healthcare every day. Nightingale, lauded as the founder of modern nursing, improved the unsanitary conditions at a British hospital during the Crimean War in the 1850s, reducing the death count by two-thirds. Her writings sparked worldwide healthcare reform, and she inspired generations of women to join the healthcare profession. Listen to the briefing to hear how your business can celebrate this important week of recognition.
