Celebrating Nurses & Midwives Week 2025: A Message From Hani Ayyad, Chief Nursing Officer

Dear JHAH Nurses & Midwives,

We mark Nurses & Midwives Week 2025 by honoring your warm hearts, dedication, and unwavering commitment to excellence. I want to take this moment to recognize and appreciate everything that you bring to our organization, every day.

Being the backbone of healthcare, your hands provide comfort, your knowledge saves lives, and your hearts bring hope to patients and families during their most vulnerable moments. Your patients feel the power of your care through a deep connection to your compassion, commitment, and inner strength. They trust you as their guardian angels.

Your work is more than a profession: It’s a calling. Touching patients’ hands and soothing their worries creates transformative relationships. Through long hours and immense compassion — and all the small yet meaningful actions that others may not notice — you make a difference one patient at a time.

Your dedication to your calling helps JHAH to achieve its number one priority: putting patients front and center of everything we do.

Your presence matters whether you work at a patient’s bedside, out in the community, or behind the scenes. Patients recover from illness, and their families are given peace, because of your hard work.

This week is about you. It’s a time for all of us to pause and express our gratitude for everything you do.

From the entire JHAH Executive Management Team, and on behalf of every patient whose life you have touched: Thank you.

Thank you for your long shifts, your gentle touch, your warm smiles, and your endless dedication to making the impossible, possible.

We see you, we appreciate you, and we celebrate you!

The world and our community are a better, brighter, and more caring place because of you.

Forever Grateful!

Hani Ayyad, Chief Nursing Officer
