Nurse Appreciation Week

During the week of May 6th – May 12th we celebrate Nurse Appreciation Week. We are so fortunate to have nurses like you who go above and beyond expectations to care for the people we support and it’s even more important than ever to thank every nurse this Nurse Appreciation Week. At Developmental Services, we know our nurses have worked more hours and given more of themselves to the people they support during the pandemic. Thank you for all the personal sacrifices you are making to help others during this challenging time.

Once again, we have decided to break out Nurse Appreciation Week from DSP Appreciation Week. We will be sending out more details to nurses through PHS.

DSP day will be later this summer and we will send more information out to DSPs as it becomes available.
