Mayor Costi Kutteh and the Statesville City Council have issued a proclamation in support of emergency nurses by recognizing Emergency Nurses Week during October 11-17. This is in line with National Emergency Nurses Week proclaimed by the Emergency Nurses Association.

In attendance to receive the proclamation were nurses from Davis Regional Medical Center and Iredell Health System. The proclamation will be shared with emergency nurses at both facilities to recognize their commitment, resilience, and dedication to their profession and community.

Josh Snow, Davis Regional CEO, said the praise for these dedicated healthcare workers was warranted.

“Nurses have never played a more critical role in the healthcare of our nation than during these difficult days. We salute them for their heroic and compassionate service. We will forever be indebted.”
