USA Physicians Group Participates in Nurses Week

USA Physicians Group clinics recently celebrated Nurses Week, a national initiative led by the American Nurses Association to honor and celebrate the work of the nation’s registered nurses — the largest of the health care professions.

“In recognition of nurses week, the management staff at Stanton Road Clinic decided to purchase T-shirts for the staff to wear each Friday during May,” said Yolanda Todd, clinical nursing specialty supervisor at USA Stanton Road Clinic. “We have a great team of individuals who work hard on a daily basis to assist their patients, their families and our medical team. This T-shirt promotes the mission we have for our patients and staff, and shows the dedication that each staff member gives every day.”

Robin Geary, clinical nursing supervisor at USA Stanton Road Clinic, said she was excited to participate in nurses week. "Nurses pour their hearts into their work, selflessly caring for others without giving it a second thought,” she said. “They play a vital role in the health care industry, and it is important to let them know that their hard work, dedication and expertise are both appreciated and noticed.”

The theme for the week was "Nurses Rock," as several USA Physicians Group administrators served ice cream to the nurses in recognition of their hard work. At the ice cream socials, nurses were also able to participate in photo booths and enter door prizes while eating with colleagues.

"We had a great turnout from both our nurses and our administrators at our nurses week celebration," said Dr. Natalie Fox, director of nursing for USA Physicians Group. “I want each and every one of our nurses to know I appreciate everything they do to make a difference in the lives of our patients.”
