(ANA) and the ANA-Vermont celebrate and promote the nursing profession through the observance of National Nurses Week, and Whereas, in 2024, National Nurses Week is May 6–12, and this commemoration is
centered on the theme “Nurses Make the Difference,” and Whereas, the highlight of ANA-Vermont’s 2024 commemoration of National Nurses Week will occur on May 9 when ANA-Vermont Hill Day is observed at the State House as an appreciation for Vermont’s nurses’ unparalleled impact during the pandemic, their vital contribution to health care, and as an open invitation to Vermonters to thank nurses for their efforts, now therefore be it VT LEG #377676 v.1
