National Nurses Week, traditionally celebrated from May 6 to May 12 each year, is now a month-long celebration to expand opportunities to elevate and celebrate nursing. The month-long celebration is a time “to recognize the vast contributions and positive impact of America’s 4 million registered nurses,” according to the American Nurses Association, which first declared May 6-May 12 National Nurses Week back in 1993.
ANA selected the evergreen theme, Nurses Make a Difference to honor the varying roles of nurses and their positive impact on our lives. Nurses make a difference as trusted advocates who ensure individuals, families, and populations receive quality patient care and services. Nurses make a difference by influencing and shaping health policy decisions that ensure all Americans have access to high-quality, affordable health care coverage.
JTA is fortunate to be able to offer our Prescription Reimbursement Program to any solid organ transplant recipient who received their transplant at Mayo Clinic Jacksonville. You can receive a one-time reimbursement of up to $100.00 on your prescription medications if you qualify.
