A Message From Our Chief Nursing Officers

The current healthcare environment presents special challenges to the nursing profession. Complex social and economic factors play a role as we deliver care to patients with multiple medical problems from diverse cultural backgrounds. Patients and their families are well informed and have higher expectations. Nurses play a vital role in improving the quality of life of their patients in this challenging environment and must consistently deliver safe, high quality nursing care in a culturally sensitive way.

Our nurses show an uncompromising commitment to providing the highest quality of patient care. Our nursing department consists of a team of highly qualified professional registered nurses that are well educated to take care of the needs of our patients. A team of licensed practical nurses, and certified nursing assistants support the RNs in order to enhance the patient experience. Our nursing vision is to improve the practice of nursing through empowerment and autonomy, nursing education and the implementation of evidence based nursing best practice. Our nurses are highly respected professionals, recognized for excellence in patient care and dedication to the advancement of the nursing profession.
