FROM FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE TO JEREMY NUCKOLS WEEK 2019 NATIONAL HOSPITAL NATIONAL HOSPITAL WEEK was first created to honor the famed nurse who established standards for hospital quality. Today, we set aside this time to honor all of the people who support the health of our communities, day in and day out. People like UVA Health System's Jeremy Nuckols. He gave the T-shirt under his scrubs to a patient who needed an oversized, comfortable shirt to wear home after a procedure. "The cliché-someone gives you the shirt off their back-it fits," says Jeremy. "We do things for patients every day that they don't understand, so it was nice to do something that is universally understood." DO YOU KNOW A HOSPITAL TEAM MEMBER?
