National Nursing Week takes place from May 11-17, 2026.

It is the annual celebration of our profession that always coincides with the birthday of Florence Nightingale, the founder of modern nursing, on May 12. This year’s theme is “The Power of Nurses To Transform Health.” This theme highlights the incredible impact nurses have in shaping health care, driving innovation, and advocating for patient-centred care.

At CHATS-Community & Home Assistance to Seniors, we’re deeply grateful for the extraordinary nurses who care with courage, lead with compassion, and make a lasting impact every single day. Your dedication, resilience, and advocacy for patient-centered care continue to inspire us all.

To our incredible frontline staff and to nurses across Canada and beyond- thank you. You truly are the heartbeat of health care.

Let’s take this week to celebrate you, honour your work, and shine a light on the transformative power of nursing. We’re so proud to celebrate with you!
