Meadowood is proud to recognize all nurses for the quality of care they provide to patients, clients and long-term care residents. Meadowood Manor depends on the commitment, care, and work of our Nursing department!

“The commitment of nurses needs to be celebrated every week of every year. But it is especially important at this moment, as we still find ourselves in the COVID-19 pandemic.

Nurses and other health-care workers have shown extraordinary commitment and professionalism in the midst of this crisis. But sadly, health care workers are exhausted, and often feared for their health and their family’s health. The lack of personal protective equipment showed an unacceptable gap in our system. There has also been a considerable strain on the mental health of too many staff. Health and safety must be now and forever a top priority. We need to care for those who care for us.

In the context of this pandemic, we have seen a greater public appreciation of the work done by nurses and all health care workers. Rightfully, they are recognized as heroes. In the face of our country’s worst health care crisis in modern times, we salute their courage and dedication.”
