Medavie Blue Cross / Croix Bleue Medavie

May 10-16, 2021 is National Nursing Week. The annual celebration is an opportunity to show nurses how much we care for them; to recognize and thank them for answering the call for Canadians and their communities. As part of our tribute, we want to put a spotlight on the men and women who bring their care, compassion and strength as nurses to Medavie and the many roles they play in guiding patients on their health care journeys. Thank you for everything you do. https://bit.ly/3ts0DnG
