Nursing Colleagues,

This week, we celebrate National Nurses Week, shining a spotlight on the millions of men and women who care for others when they are at their most vulnerable. When illness or injury interrupts daily life, there is no one more important to a person in pain than a caring nurse. Not everyone can do this job, and we know that being a nurse is far more than a career choice; it is a calling—one that reflects a generosity of spirit that is unique to caregivers.

On behalf of the entire Parallon Workforce Solutions team, we would like to send you our sincerest thanks for your dedication and commitment to the nursing profession. We appreciate the important role you play in improving the health and well-being of local communities across the country.
