Celebrating Nurses Week & Hospital Week 2025 | Honoring Human Understanding in Healthcare

May marks a special time in healthcare as we celebrate both National Nurses Week (May 6–12) and National Hospital Week (May 11–17). These observances shine a spotlight on the extraordinary people at the center of care—nurses, hospitals, and health-system leaders—whose compassion, resilience, and commitment touch millions of lives every day. 

At NRC Health, we believe that delivering great care begins with something simple, yet powerful: Human Understanding. These weeks are a chance to honor how healthcare professionals bring a human-first experience to life in every patient interaction. 

This year, the American Nurses Enterprise is honoring the incredible contributions of nurses with the theme “The Power of Nurses.” Nurses are more than caregivers—they are listeners, advocates, and partners in healing. They face daily challenges with strength and empathy, building the human connections that define meaningful healthcare experiences. 

At NRC Health, we’re proud to elevate the voice of nurses through real-time feedback, rounding, and caregiver recognition solutions that help organizations understand the people behind the care. 

With the theme #WeAreHealthCare, National Hospital Week celebrates the 5,000+ hospitals and health systems across the country, as well as the dedicated professionals who work within them. These organizations do more than provide care—they serve as community anchors, innovators, and advocates for community health. 

We are proud to partner with leading hospitals and health systems to ensure that the voice of the patient is heard and understood. 

Whether it’s a nurse holding a patient’s hand during a difficult diagnosis or a hospital team launching a new community initiative, Human Understanding is what sets great care apart. It’s about recognizing the person behind the procedure. 

This Nurses Week and Hospital Week, NRC Health celebrates the healthcare professionals who live out that mission every day. We honor your commitment to understanding, healing, and making a difference.
