Getting Close to Spring!

With the sporadic spring-like weather we've experienced here and there, it is hard not to get excited for the thought of warmer, brighter days. Along with nicer weather and more opportunities to enjoy time outdoors, spring is always symbolic of renewal and transformation. In the midst of our daily responsibilities and the challenges we face, let us take a moment to embrace the spirit of spring, welcoming the opportunity for new beginnings, both personally and professionally. As nurses, we have the privilege of witnessing the miracle of renewal every day in the lives of our patients. Now, let us extend that same sense of renewal to ourselves.

I truly believe we have quite an exciting year ahead. Our new Berman Garage recently opened - an important first step toward the opening of the Sandra R. Berman Pavilion, future home of the Sandra and Malcolm Berman Cancer Institute, in early 2025. This is the second phase of transformation on our campus thanks to the Promise Project.

In the nearer future, I'm excited to give you a sneak preview into Nurses Week. We've taken feedback we collected from last year's events to make some tweaks to make this year's celebrations even more fun. I encourage you all to save the date for our Nurses Night event the evening of Tuesday, May 7 at BC Brewery. This year we'll be announcing the winner of the Nightingale Award during the event, so I really hope to see you there! Stay tuned to your email to learn about all we'll be offering during Nurses Week.

Happy Spring, everyone!

Sincerely,

Angela "Angie" Feurer, MSN, RN, NEA-BC 
Chief Nursing Officer
