May Spotlight on Nurses — and Everyone Who Supports Our Mission
May is a special time to celebrate everyone who helps move UConn Health forward. That includes nurses — one of the largest professional groups in our workforce —whose skill, heart, and dedication inspire us every day. It's also a time to recognize the many hands and minds across departments that keep us delivering on our commitment of care, discovery, and education.
On Tue, May 6, help us kick off gratitude with our nurses. Send your appreciation, wear your heart-themed gear, write a heartfelt message, or offer a kind word. Every gesture reminds our nurses’ —and each other— that what we do matters.
Then on Tue, May 13, we’ll keep the gratitude going with Proud to Be UConn Health Day, part of our Hospital Week celebration. Leaders will be out across the organization with treats, refreshments, and heartfelt thanks—recognizing every team and every role that makes UConn Health a place we’re proud to work, serve, and grow together.
