Amedisys Celebrates More Than 7,000 Nurses During National Nurses Week
May 06 2019 - 04:30PM
Amedisys, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMED), one of the nation’s leading home
healthcare, hospice and personal care companies, celebrates
National Nurses Week by honoring more than 7,000 nurses who call
the company home.
National Nurses Week begins each year on May 6 and
ends on May 12, Florence Nightingale’s birthday. Amedisys is proud
to recognize and applaud the home health, hospice and personal care
nurses who provide compassionate, clinically distinct care
throughout the 38 states we serve.
“Amedisys is a company of caregivers with nurses as
a key component of our success and our excellent patient care,”
stated President and CEO Paul Kusserow. “I’m honored to support and
inspire these outstanding professionals so they, in turn, can
support our patients in living their lives with dignity where they
most want to be – at home.”
Amedisys recognizes that the modern home healthcare
professional is more than just a clinician – nurses in the home
health, hospice and personal care fields are coaches, mutual
problem solvers, relationship managers, advocates, translators,
collaborators and so much more.
“At Amedisys, home health and hospice nursing is
more than a job or a profession – it’s a higher calling,” stated
Donna Massie, Senior Vice President of Clinical Operations.
“Because of our nurses and clinicians, our patients are better
prepared to live safely and independently wherever they call
home.”
