Nurse Appreciation Day/National Nurses Week officially kicked off in Palmetto Bay on Sunday, May 6, 2018.

National Nurses Week begins each year on May 6th and ends on May 12th, Florence Nightingale's birthday. It was my honor to recognize Nurse Appreciation Day/National Nurses Week on Sunday, May 6, 2018.

Palmetto Bay is proud and indebted to our nurses, we recognized Rachel Cunningham, RN, one of many Village Residents drawn to the field of nursing for benefit of all patients and set the standard for all to follow.  Nurse Cunningham is a Labor and Delivery with Baptist Health South Florida, and embodies the dedication of our Nurses - women and men in nursing who are expanding their professional health care roles by continually striving to upgrade standards of care and improve services through research, education, and practice.

The Village of Palmetto Bay, extends greetings and best wishes to all observing Nurse Week, May 6-12, 2015 celebrating a theme of Ethical Practice: Quality Care, through presentation to Rachel Cunningham, RN.

Thank you to all our nurses!  Happy National Nurses Week.

Your Mayor,

Eugene Flinn
