Celebrating Our Nurses

National Nurses Week was (May 6-12th), and we at Rainbow Community Care would like to honor our entire team of extraordinary nurses. A week isn’t enough time to recognize them for everyone they do for us each day. All are highly skilled, experienced, compassionate, dedicated, comforting, and much more. Here are just some of the many nurses we are thankful for.

In the back row, from left to right: Gail Maron, Emmy Chaves, Kimberly Walker, Greta Wohlrabe, Jeanine Lew, Hannah Woods, Trina Clutterbuck, Sarah Frick, Sarah Padigireddy, and Angie Zastrow.

We have over 50 nurses at Rainbow who provide local hospice, palliative, and guided care for the ones you love. A lot of them dedicate their time to making visits to patients and families in their homes and facilities, while others provide extraordinary and compassionate care at our Rainbow Hospice Care Inpatient Center in Johnson Creek. We also have others who are former nurses and are now part of our leadership teams. We appreciate each and every one of you!

Nurses Week celebrates the effort, dedication, and sacrifices that nurses make every day. At Rainbow, our nurses are trusted advocates who ensure that patients, their families, and communities receive quality care and services. They are essential members of America’s healthcare workforce, providing care through every stage of life and supporting patients during their most intimate and vulnerable moments. We are so proud of our nursing team and all of the great work that they do and their unwavering commitment and leadership on behalf of the patients they serve.
