Nurses deserves a little fun too! 💙

In honor of Nurses Day, Week, and Month, our Home Health Nurses celebrated last night with the "From Scrubs to Strikes: Nurses Night at the Lanes" themed Cinco de Mayo bowling night! 

A great time was had by all with some good fun, lots of laughs, and some friendly competition on the lanes!

Great chance to step away from the road, connect as a team, and celebrate the incredible care our nurses deliver every day in homes across our community.

Grateful for this amazing Home Health team of nurses! Please know what you do matters, and it shows every single day.
