Dear Alumnae and Friends,
Today and all throughout the year, we salute the strength and the fortitude of nurses everywhere. Over the last year, we have witnessed how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected our alumnae community and the world. Nurses continue to work tirelessly to ensure that people who need help are cared for. They truly are heroes.
It is a special time to remember and honor nurses who are part of our alumnae community and beyond. The American Nurses Association helps elevate and celebrate nursing during National Nurses Week, which begin today, as well as during its month-long recognition each May.
The pandemic has posed enormous challenges to nurses in work settings, in relationships with patients and through unimaginable loses. We are inspired by the commitment and sacrifice nurses bring to their work every day and would like to hear from alumnae in the field. Please email us at douglassalumnae@douglassalumnae.org to let us know about you and your work.
At the AADC, we continue to follow all of the precautions and guidelines regarding COVID-19. We care about the health and safety of all members of our sisterhood and their families. In addition to nurses, we salute all of our alumnae who are health care workers and others in the medical profession.
In Sisterhood,
Valerie L. Anderson ’81, MBA
Executive Director, Associate Alumnae of Douglass College
