International Nurses Day is celebrated every year on 12 May, on the birthday of Florence Nightingale, the founder of modern nursing; and the world comes together to celebrate the nursing profession.
Bank First delivering packs to nurses at Mercy Hospital for Women
This year on International Nurses Day, Bank First, a partner of Mercy Health Foundation helped us celebrate the amazing work and compassion of nurses by delivering 1,000 ‘Pinchapoo’ pamper packs to both Werribee Mercy Hospital and Mercy Hospital for Women to show their gratitude.
At Mercy Health, we are blessed to have thousands of nurses working with us across the full spectrum of care from hospitals, operating theatres, outpatient clinics, palliative care and mental health services, through to exceptional care in more than 30 aged care homes and home care.
“What I love most about being a nurse is the people. It’s like this beautiful dance where everyone – the nurses, medical team, allied health staff and admin – comes together to achieve amazing outcomes for our patients,” Kirsty Nason, Acting Nurse Unit Manager, Neonatal Services at Mercy Hospital for Women, says.
We are grateful for Bank First’s ongoing support and commitment to Mercy Health, and all those who choose to work with us. This donation reflects the admiration many people in the community have for the highly skilled workforce of nurses everywhere.
