LEHIGH ACRES — Each year, National Nurses Week and National Hospital Week are a time to celebrate and honor all who contribute to the incredible impact hospitals make in our communities. Lehigh Regional Medical Center celebrated together with a week of activities designed to not only show appreciation to the dedicated employees, but to refresh and encourage them as they continue to serve others every day. Employees kicked off the week with a pancake breakfast, cooled off with Kona Ice, relaxed with chair massage, a hospital BBQ, plenty of sweet treats and a gift.

“National Nurses Week and Hospital Week is a dedicated time we come together to recognize our staff and the important role each person has in the success of the organization and the care of our patients,” said Cheryl McIntire, Lehigh Regional Medical Center’s CEO/CFO. “We’re proud of the quality care we provide, and we’re honored to be a trusted healthcare partner in the communities we serve.”

In honor of those serving in healthcare, please take a moment and thank hospital or nursing staff who have made an impact in your life.
