We celebrate National Nurses Week every year to uplift hard-working colleagues, neighbors and loved ones in Maine. Once again, we are honored to publish your personal thank-you notes.

"Our nurses are so incredibly committed to their patients and their colleagues, it is an inspiration to witness their work each and every day.”

While pandemic procedures feel more routine this year than they did last, progress that has been made, including the opening of Mercy Hospital’s walk-in vaccination clinic at the Portland Expo.

"Working as an infusion nurse at NECS has provided me with the gift of human connection and the ability to make a difference in many people’s lives."
