Care for thousands

One nurse can care for 45,000 patients over the course of their career. That care extends to the patient, the patient's family, and the community.  That's hundreds of thousands of lives touched by the care of a single nurse.

Nurse Impact Night

The impact of a nurse is limitless.

The men and women who devote themselves to our wellbeing don't seek the spotlight - but they deserve our gratitude now more than ever. 

Labouré's Nurse Impact Night is a celebration of the immeasurable impact nurses have on their patients, their families, and their communities.
