 Pikeville Medical Center is celebrating both Hospital and Nurses Week. Staff members at the hospital are being recognized for their outstanding work in the medical field. The slogan for the week at PMC is We Are Health Care, signifying how much each employee their values, their work and community. Well, the theme for National Hospital Week this week is We Are Health Care, and that is exactly what Pikeville Medical Center is. Each of our team members are very important to the care of the region and our patients. And of course our nurses work hand in hand with our patients to ensure they receive excellent care here at Pikeville Medical Center. This is just a great time for us to honor all of those wonderful people that are dedicated to the care of our patients. Cancer, it's a very scary word, but an outstanding treatment facility was here at home. I was led to the Lawson Cancer Center. As a nurse practitioner at the Lawson Cancer Center, we are champions for our patients. I am so happy for Robert. The treatment worked. In addition to the recognition of everyone's labor, PMC will be hosting an award ceremony on Tuesday May 9th. Justice expresses her gratitude toward everyone involved in upholding the hospital's reputation. There's special recognition going on throughout our organization this week. We have a lot of nice treats going out to all of our clinics, all of our locations, all of our units and floors here at Pikeville Medical Center. We also have an special awards night planned tomorrow night where we will be honoring certain employees for their accomplishments throughout the year. I am truly honored to work with the 3,000 plus employees here at Pikeville Medical Center, whether it be our people who answer the phones, our therapists, our technicians working across Pikeville Medical Center, of course, our doctors and our physicians. It is great to see a group of people come together for the well-being of the region and be so passionate for that cause. So it's great to celebrate them this week.
