Thank You BBAHC Nurses!

Nursing is our Nation’s largest healthcare profession, with an estimated 4.3 million actively licensed registered nurses.  At BBAHC, we acknowledge that nurses are at the very heart of our health care system.  During National Nurses Week, May 6-12, BBAHC expresses our gratitude and appreciation for the special role our nurses have in providing exceptional care to our patients.  We value BBAHC nurses' dedication and service and the many ways each nurse contributes to the wellbeing of our communities.

“To do what nobody else will do, in a way that nobody else can, in spite of all we go through, is to be a nurse.” —Rawsi Williams, JD, BSN, RN, PhD
