Not only are we celebrating all nurses this week, but we’re also celebrating all hospital staff! National Hospital Week runs May 7 – 13, 2017.

HealthTrust Workforce Solutions is proud to be an affiliate of HCA and serve as the premier healthcare workforce solutions provider for hundreds of hospitals across the country. We see firsthand the dedication and passion that drives so many hospital team members, whether they work in clinical or non-clinical positions.

Thanks for being amazing!

At HealthTrust Workforce Solutions we think nurses are truly amazing.

We see the strength, determination, compassion and selflessness you demonstrate each day as you care for your patients. We know you’ve walked endless miles of hospital halls and have impacted more lives than you know.

The pace of hiring picked up again in April after an initially slow start earlier this spring. Unemployment dipped to 4.4%, the lowest level in almost a decade. If the rate drops again it will match a historic 16-year-low.

The life of being a nurse can be both rewarding and challenging and all in the same day.  We are honored to witness some of the happiest, as well as some of the saddest, times in a person’s life.  This in itself can have an impact on us: We are human, with amazing hearts full of love, compassion and empathy.  How we view these situations can shape our future both personally and professionally. 

Nurses take excellent care of their patients, and we want to ensure that nurses are well taken care of during National Nurses Week. In celebration, we’ve compiled some food and beverage deals for National Nurses Week that are sure to make you smile.

Our Sunrise Recruitment team and their family members volunteered with the American Red Cross for their Home Fire Preparedness Campaign! The team visited homes in the community, installed free smoke detectors, and educated families about fire safety procedures. The team helped 14 families and installed more than 30 alarms over the course of the day. 

Kevin Marzilli is our next corporate HealthTrust Hero! Kevin works at our South Florida headquarters as the Office Manager, responsible for the functionality, safety, and cleanliness of the facility.

“I was overwhelmed by the support I received from the senior management and from my peers,” Kevin says of his nomination. “All of the emails congratulating me were touching and unexpected.”

Every May, we celebrate the importance of the passionate, skillful people who selflessly dedicate their lives to improving the lives of others: Nurses. With National Nurses Week starting this upcoming Saturday, we’d like to take a look back at the history of the holiday.

At HealthTrust, we believe in the value of cultivating our employees to help them achieve their career goals. Many times, this results in internal promotions based on matching our employees’ strengths and skillsets to positions that help them move through their personalized career paths.

We will be sharing stories of how our team members have been excelling in the staffing field, starting with members of Vice President Lisa Acevedo’s team. Pictured above are Lisa Acevedo, Jennifer Mailly, Jennifer Katz, and James Trapani.
