 National Nurses Week

Dear Editor,

This year, May 11-17 is National Hospital and Healthcare Week, and I hope that you’ll join me in reflecting on the important role that the hospital plays in our community and expressing appreciation to our colleagues.

At Lincoln Memorial Hospital, we are continuously working to enhance the services we offer to our community. For example, we are partnering with regional specialists to expand the options for having surgery right here at LMH. We’re also making a significant investment in upgrades to our imaging technology.

But as important as the latest technology is, it’s our people who truly make a difference. As a small, rural hospital, our team is part of the community, too, and we treasure the relationship we have with you.

[to top of second column in this letter]

Healthcare can be a difficult field, and those who pursue it as a profession are driven by a desire to serve others. A kind word from a patient or family member means a lot to our colleagues in offering support and recognition.

I am proud to work alongside so many dedicated colleagues at LMH. Whether they care for patients directly or provide operational support, each plays an important role. Please join me in thanking them for everything they do – not only this week, but all year long.

Sincerely,
Dolan Dalpoas
President and CEO
Lincoln Memorial Hospital
