This month, we celebrate Bellevue nurses during National Nurses Week and honor a nursing legacy that began in 1873 with the opening of the nation’s first nursing school at Bellevue. This issue shares stories that reflect the compassion, leadership, and dedication Bellevue nurses bring to their patients and community every day.

We also recognize Bellevue’s celebration of Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. The event featured a panel discussion moderated by Bellevue CEO Dr. Eric Wei with Council Member Linda Lee, Deputy Chief Nursing Officer Marie Estelle Lejarde, and Chief of Adult Psychiatry Dr. Bipin Subedi. Council Member Virginia Maloney delivered welcoming remarks, and audiences were delighted by cultural performances throughout the celebration.

This issue also features key milestones across Bellevue, including the opening of NYC’s first outpatient therapeutic housing unit at Bellevue, our Trauma Center recertification, and an inspiring trauma survivor story focused on recovery and advocacy.

May is Stroke Awareness Month.

Stroke can happen to anyone, anytime—be ready to act. Remember BEFAST, a simple way to remember the signs of stroke. If these symptoms appear suddenly in you or someone else, call 911 immediately and say, “I think I’m having a stroke.” Acting fast can save a life and protect the brain. NYC Health + Hospitals/Bellevue is a Comprehensive Stroke Center, providing advanced, lifesaving stroke care when every second counts.
