It is National Nurse Week!

With Sunday, May 6th kicking off National Nurses Week, we believe it is appropriate to highlight news stories that celebrate this annual week of recognition.

On Sunday, Brittany Tyner, reporting for local CBS affiliate, WLFI 18, highlighted an annual reunion that allows for children who were once cared for in Indiana University Health Arnett's neonatal intensive care unit to meet the caregivers that greatly contributed to their childhood well-being. The annual reunion also allows for the parents of children who were cared for in the NICU to continue to express their gratitude to the nurses and physicians that helped their children start life out on the right foot.
