May 2021 | Best Nurses issue
The vital role nurses play in the health of our community
was perhaps never more apparent than in this past year, while
we battled a pandemic. Around the world and here at home,
nurses have been on the front lines of the virus, with retired
nurses in Northwest Arkansas even volunteering to help with
the vaccination effort.
In honor of National Nurses Week, May 6-12, in this
issue of You at Your Best we thank nurses and recognize
the extraordinary efforts made by these hardworking heroes
every day.
