Again this spring, staff work with the Portland Police Department at Drug Take Back Day.

It’s National Nurses Week, and we’re raising our stethoscopes to the modern-day Florence Nightingales at Martin’s Point Health Care who do so much to inspire their patients to get and stay healthy.

Caring for cancer patients is a special calling. Nurses who do it are special, indeed.

As we celebrate National Nurses Week, Mercy Hospital recommits to fulfilling the mission established by the Sisters of Mercy 100 years ago – a mission that comes to life every time the they help our fellow neighbor. The hospital’s centennial provides an opportunity to reflect on the progress made in our community.

National Nurses Week gives the American Nurses’ Association - Maine (ANA - Maine) a special opportunity to recognize, honor, and celebrate all 27,369 Maine nurses, and nursing students.
