To close out Nurses Month, University Hospital proudly hosted our third annual Parade of Nations — a cultural celebration honoring our dedicated nurses and the incredible diversity that makes our organization so strong.

Employees proudly shared pieces of their culture through traditional clothing, music, dance, and performances representing countries from around the world. We also enjoyed a feast featuring foods from a variety of cultures, bringing everyone together around traditions that make each of us unique.

Events like this remind us that while we all come from different backgrounds, we unite at UH with one shared mission: making a difference for our patients and community every day.

Happy Nurses Month, and thank you to our amazing nurses and everyone who participated in making this event so meaningful!
