This National Nurses’ Week and National Hospital and Healthcare Week, May 6-12, we recognized the many ways that nurses and other healthcare workers make a difference in the lives they touch each day.

Employees of the hospital concluded the celebratory week with a Hospital Picnic, complete with give-aways, bingo, music, barbeque and an exciting food drive competition. Employees “Raced to Feed the Need” as various teams (each lead by a different administrative team member) competed to see who could collect the most food in pounds for North Fulton Community Charities. Every staff member was encouraged to take time out of their Friday to support the food drive effort and enjoy some much deserved downtime away from their respective departments.
