Celebrating Healthcare and Nurses Week


Healthcare Week 2026

Celebrate Healthcare Week with Us!

This year, from May 10 through May 16, we come together under the theme: “Stronger Together — Celebrating Those Who Bring It EVERY Day!”

Healthcare and Nurses Week is our opportunity to recognize the heart, grit, and teamwork that power our organization. Whether you provide care at the bedside, support behind the scenes, or serve our communities in countless ways—you bring it every day, and we’re excited to celebrate you.

Join us throughout the week for meaningful recognition, sweet treats, and connection with colleagues across SAHS.

Bring It Recognition & Connection Activities

Focused on appreciation, encouragement, and celebrating one another.

Bring It Affirmation Recognition

  • Bring It Affirmation Clings will be displayed in all cafeterias at each hospital. Add handwritten recognition notes with Sharpies to support and uplift one another for “bringing it” every day.
  • Bring It Pins for ALL colleagues — a visible reminder of the energy, excellence, and compassion you bring to your work.

ALL LOCATIONS: We encourage you all to share your gratitude and appreciation for your fellow colleagues utilizing the “Focused Recognition Tool” found on the SAHS web. Healthcare week is about supporting and honoring one another for the exceptional work we all do each and every day. https://mytrinityhealth.sharepoint.com/sites/SAHS


Nurses Week

New Award! Saint Alphonsus Nightingale Award 

Established in recognition of Florence Nightingale’s birthday and in celebration of Healthcare Week and Nurses Week, the Saint Alphonsus Nightingale Award honors RNs and LPNs who reflect the timeless ideals of the nursing profession and the Mission-driven culture of Saint Alphonsus. This annual award will recognize six exceptional nurses: one from each Saint Alphonsus hospital, one from the Saint Alphonsus Medical Group, and one for the Saint Alphonsus Health System.
