In recognition of National Hospital Week, we take the time to honor the dedicated healthcare professionals who work tirelessly in over 6,000 hospitals, health systems, and health networks across the United States. These organizations provide essential services and care to our communities 24/7/365, impacting millions of lives each year.
Every day, millions of people are admitted to U.S. hospitals, with even more receiving care in emergency departments. Additionally, hospital teams deliver millions of babies annually, showcasing the significant impact that hospitals and health systems have on our society. Patients often remember the compassionate care provided by nurses, physicians, therapists, and other healthcare professionals, highlighting the importance of their work in the healing process.
We encourage individuals to share stories about how their local hospital or health system is making a difference in people’s lives and communities throughout the entire year. By visiting AHA.org, you can find ideas and social content to use and customize for sharing these impactful stories. Don’t forget to use #WeAreHealthCare when posting on social media to help spread awareness about the positive impact of hospitals and health systems.
From delivering babies to performing life-saving procedures, providing compassionate care, and offering hope and healing to those in need, hospitals and health systems play an essential role in maintaining the health and well-being of individuals, families, and communities. Thank you to all the devoted
