It is National Nurses Week, and the County wants to thank all nurses, including the nearly 500 public health nurses, for the excellent care they provide to San Diego County residents every day.
Each year, from May 6 to 12, nurses across the nation are honored for their work, compassion and dedication to improving the health of others. Nurses Week is part of a month-long celebration.
County public health nurses provide care across all populations, through all stages of life and work with patients during their most vulnerable times. They serve thousands of clients annually at six public health centers, Edgemoor Skilled Nursing Facility, the Psychiatric Hospital, and San Diego detention centers.
