Dear SPIN Health Services Team Member,

It is with the utmost gratitude and respect that I recognize SPIN’s Health Services Team in honor of Nurse Appreciation Week. As a SPIN nurse, you do so very much to ensure the health and wellness of the individuals on your caseload.  Additionally, what I see is that so much more than just being a person on a caseload, SPIN nurses take a profound personal interest in the entire wellbeing of each person, serving as tremendous advocates in their lives.

Just as Florence Nightingale, whose birthday begins this week of recognition, you demonstrate a passion for caring for others combined with a knowledge of science and medicine. SPIN is so very lucky to have this combination of skill and compassion within our Health Services Department.

It is my hope that you will enjoy this year’s nurse’s week activities and understand that you are needed and appreciated each day of the year. I’m sure we never say thank you enough for all you do, so this week reminds us all how much we count on you. Thank you for all the times you prevented people from becoming sick, for all the times you helped people get better when they were sick, for the training you provide to our DSPs on health related issues, for advocating on people’s behalf, for your immaculate record keeping, for your voice at the end of the phone when we need nursing guidance, for trouble shooting, for informing families, for all the things little and big.

On behalf of SPIN leadership and the Corporate Board, please accept our sincere appreciation for all you do to ensure a Life of Possibilities for those we support.

Sincerely,
Kathy
