America’s hospitals and health systems each year deliver 3.5 million babies, care for 32 million people admitted to hospitals, employ 6.3 million people, and provide emergency care to 123 million people, notes an AHA and American Organization for Nursing Leadership ad published May 8 in the Wall Street Journal for National Nurses Week and National Hospital Week. “To all those working in America’s hospitals and health systems, thank you,” the ad says.
