Celebrating our nursing partners

We see it every day: nurses working side-by-side with physicians and other clinicians to serve our communities as we all continue to battle the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite facing the most stressful situations, their commitment and dedication to patients has not wavered.

As physicians, it is our responsibility to celebrate nurses, as they are our partners in care. Please take a moment to thank nurses for their remarkable efforts and tireless commitment to our patients, families and communities. Show them that you appreciate their dedication and loyalty to compassionate, extraordinary care every day.

Vaccine testimonial from a colleague

“As a Beaumont employee, I had the chance to receive the vaccine before most of the general public. I took the opportunity to protect myself and my family from the virus, and to slow the spread,” said Michelle Kellogg, respiratory therapist at Beaumont, Farmington Hills.
