(Spirit Lake)– This week marks the observance of Nurses Week.
According to a press release, over 130 nurses work at Lakes Regional Healthcare across multiple departments. Some of those actually work outside the hospital, such as in home care and hospice settings. Inpatient and critical care nurses working within the hospital provide round-the-clock monitoring and support for acutely ill patients. Other nurses work within Dickinson County Public Health promoting wellness and preventing disease.
LRH Chief Nursing Officer Bryan Williams says nurses embody the spirit of caregiving that defines the hospital.
