Meet our 2012 Host For
This Year’s
Nurse Recognition Day Event
Nurse Recognition Day was started in Rockland County 30 years ago by nurses
representing Healthcare Facilities and Healthcare Service Providers in the
community. The Nurse Recognition Day Committee has been made up of nurses from
these various organizations. Each year a facility or service provider has hosted
Nurse Recognition Day. The county of Rockland and legislative bodies have been
an advocate to this event.

This year the host is Summit Park Hospital and Nurse Care Center a provider in Rockland County. This year's committee has selected the theme of "Uniqueness of Nursing" as their theme.

A community service project is selected by the committee each year. Past projects include, comfort kits donated to the Rockland County Family Shelter for
victims of sexual assault, emergency food kits for Meals on Wheels, a donation
to the Katrina Fund, sponsored membership in the Rockland County Professional
Nurses Association, and a donation to Nurses’ House.

Each year the committee has a luncheon, at this luncheon vendors have the ability to have display tables at the event, an advertising journal is done. This year web advertising will be available on the County Project Website. Details on the event will be posted on website but will also be sent to all healthcare professionals, community leaders, legislators and businesses in Rockland County.
