Today is International Nurses Day! We are proud and honored to celebrate our often-unsung heroes, our nurses. Their expert skills, comforting presence, love, and tenderness provide a sense of calm and relief for patients and families along every step of the diagnostic odyssey. We share our profound thanks to all of the nurses working in hospitals, physician offices, schools, and administering treatments for their care, passion, and commitment to our Primary Immunodeficiency patients throughout the global Jeffrey Modell Centers Network.
Our nurses are the first line of defense in recognizing repeated infections among undiagnosed children, and they are the first faces our patients see, which greatly impacts their experience in physician offices, hospitals, and treatment settings. For so many, the diagnostic odyssey can be intimidating, but nurses are always there to provide encouragement to all patients and families, relentlessly devoted to their profession!
Please join us in sharing thanks to all nurses, today, and every day, who work tirelessly to reassure patients, put them at ease, and help to improve the quality of life for people living with PI worldwide!
