Happy Nurses Week 2023! Nurses Week 2023 begins May 6 and continues through May 12, 2023. This particular week of recognition gives us an excellent opportunity to recognize the contributions of Benchmark and HomePointe HealthCare (HomePointe) nurses. Since 1994, the American Nurses Association has designated this week to honor nurses. Each year they choose a theme, and this year’s theme is You Make a Difference, to signify nurses varying roles in healthcare and the positive impact nurses have on people’s lives. Please know we see and hear Benchmark and HomePointe nurses making a difference every day. For these reasons and so many more, on behalf of your team at Benchmark and HomePointe, we wish you a Happy Nurses Week! We celebrate you and are very grateful for your special role in this organization.
