A huge thank you from Quanna Batiste, DNP, RN, NEA-BC, FAAN

During this year’s National Nurses Week, I want to express my deepest gratitude to every nurse across our Touro – LCMC Health. No matter your role or specialty, each of you plays a vital part in delivering safe, high-quality, and compassionate care to our patients.

I am continually inspired by your courage, your clinical excellence, and your unwavering commitment to patient safety. Your work is a reflection of the highest standards of our profession—and your impact extends far beyond the bedside. You lead with heart, advocate fiercely for your patients, and bring humanity to healthcare in the moments it matters most.

To be a nurse isn’t just a profession—it’s a calling. And your dedication to that calling never goes unnoticed. It is an honor to celebrate each of you for the knowledge, empathy, and strength you bring to our patients, our organization, and to one another.

This week, and every week, we recognize and celebrate the powerful difference you make.

With heartfelt appreciation,

Quanna Batiste, DNP, RN, NEA-BC, FAAN
