SHO Celebrates Nurses Week

Nurses: Advocating, Leading, Caring

Often described as an art and a science, nursing is a profession that embraces dedicated people with varied interests, strengths and passions because of the many opportunities the profession offers. As nurses, we work in emergency rooms, school based clinics, and homeless shelters, to name a few. We have many roles – from staff nurse to educator to nurse practitioner and nurse researcher – and serve all of them with passion for the profession and with a strong commitment to patient safety.

Background 
National Nurses Week is celebrated annually from May 6, also known as National Nurses Day, through May 12, the birthday of Florence Nightingale, the founder of modern nursing.

Five of our Assisted Living Comunities in Colorado are starting a new partnership with Grove Menus dynamic online menu system.

According to Grove…

“Getting the proper nutrition for your residents is very important to maintaining their quality of life. Many menu systems sacrifice nutrition too quickly. We are committed to doing all we to can protect the nutritional quality and personal health benefits that are inherent in the right balance of foods. We look for recipes that meet the balance of good taste and good health.”

We are looking forward to improving our services while offering better nutrition and a healthy balance of foods to our residents.
