Our gratitude to the Governor for her motivating words, and to the Chamber for organizing this great event.

This Nurses Week, we thank all our nursing colleagues for the compassion they show to our patients and families—and congratulate Becky Primmer, RN for her recognition in The Boston Globe's 2024 Salute to Nurses. Says her patient's grateful granddaughter in the Globe nomination: "Every step of the way, she showed us grace and empathy as we navigated how to quickly step into the role of caregivers. We can’t thank Becky enough for being so wonderful to our grandfather and father and for all she has done for our entire family." Becky is pictured here at right with Nuala McDonagh, Hospice Clinical Manager. To read the full letter, click here: https://lnkd.in/eRV-2XeH
