This Nurses Month, Thank a Nurse

All year long, nurses go above and beyond to care for patients and families.

National Nurses Month is a time to celebrate the contributions of nurses who work tirelessly to provide expert compassionate care, support patient safety, and advance the nursing profession -- the perfect time to say “thank you” to nurses for the vital role they play by making a donation.

To make your donation go even further, every dollar you donate during National Nurses Month will be matched, up to a total of $15,000, by the Park Family Charitable Foundation. That means your gift will have twice the impact in supporting the important work of the American Nurses Foundation.

Nurses, like many health professionals, are paying a deep personal price for holding together our broken healthcare system. While we have the potential to make great strides in health care, it can’t be achieved without the people who provide a vast majority of care—and that’s nurses. They need resources that go far beyond what they have been provided.

You recognize the need for bold solutions to empower nurses. Your donation today will support critical work such as:

• Mental health support: Helping nurses cope with the challenges facing them every day.
• New care solutions: Supporting cutting-edge research by nurse scientists that will lead to better patient outcomes and improved nursing practice.
• Health equity initiatives: Advancing health equity and social justice by addressing the myriad of challenges patients and communities face that contribute to illness and death.

Together, we can create a brighter future for nurses and the patients they serve.

64% of nurses say they feel stressed, according to a newly updated survey by the American Nurses Foundation. While nurses play a vital role in health care, many do not feel supported. In fact, only 12% of nurses said they felt empowered in the two weeks before being surveyed.

We can ensure that nurses have the resources they need to continue providing compassionate care, advocating for their patients, and advancing the nursing profession.

Can our nation’s nurses count on you this National Nurses Month?

Remember, every dollar you donate will be matched, up to $15,000, so your gift will have twice the impact.

Your support means the world to us and to the 4.4 million registered American nurses who work tirelessly every day to make a difference in the lives of others.

Thank you for your commitment to advancing the nursing profession during National Nurses Month and beyond.
