National Hospital and Healthcare Week is May 9-15, a week specifically set aside to celebrate hospitals and show thanks and appreciation to those who work in them, for the vital role they play in the health of our community. This year’s theme, Inspiring Hope through Healing, recognizes the hope our healthcare workers provide despite the pandemic, and acknowledges their efforts on behalf of patients and the community.

“The past year has been a challenging time for our community, our clinicians, nurses, doctors and our team in helping to keep our community healthy,” said Maggie Gill, chief executive officer for the Palm Beach Health Network.”

Since 1921, hospitals across the country have been celebrating National Hospital and Healthcare Week. The event has grown over the past 100 years and is now the nation’s largest health care event, celebrating the history, technology and dedicated professionals who make hospitals and healthcare facilities beacons of confidence and care.

Tenet’s six Palm Beach Health Network hospitals, Delray Medical Center, Good Samaritan Medical Center, Palm Beach Children’s Hospital, Palm Beach Gardens Medical Center, St. Mary’s Medical Center and West Boca Medical Center, are proud to celebrate Hospital Week.  Our organization recognizes the importance of providing medical care in our hospitals and running vital programs in our community.
