Hello North East GNAO Members,
We are writing to acknowledge National Nursing Week and this year’s theme of 'Nurses: A Voice to Lead — Nursing the World to Health'.
You are likely currently living and breathing this truth as you work to care for the most vulnerable during this COVID-19 pandemic. You may be working to prevent the spread or caring for those ill, all while being stretched in building new skillsets in how to provide for the complex care needs of older adults and their family care partners in the midst of the COVID-19 environment.
