“Nurses Light the Way to Better Health.” That’s Mosaic’s theme to honor nurses during National Nurses Week, which begins today, May 6 and ends on May 12, the birthday of Florence Nightingale, the founder of modern nursing.
Nurses play a vital role at Mosaic. In this time of pandemic, their importance is magnified. A dedicated team of 100 health services workers has been diligently dispensing information and care across the organization to help keep people as virus-free and healthy as possible.
