Happy Pride Month!

As nursing leaders, we always strive to create a healthy and supportive environment for both our patients and other healthcare workers. This month we want to take the time to consider ways we can better advocate for those who often feel alienated by the medical field due to their identity. Everyone deserves to feel safe and comfortable when receiving treatment and nurses play an integral role in creating that environment.
