At Palmetto Care Connections, we know that nurses are the backbone of our healthcare system—and this National Nurses Week, we want to take a moment to celebrate the incredible individuals who make a difference in the lives of patients every single day.
From nurses who work in traditional clinical settings to those who have embraced the evolving world of digital health, we are grateful for every single one. We especially recognize the dedicated nurses across our partner organizations who serve in a wide variety of roles: in offices and clinics, out in the field providing home care, delivering services through telehealth platforms, and supporting patients with remote patient monitoring.
These nurses are on the front lines of rural health, showing up in underserved communities, schools, long-term care facilities, and even patients’ homes. They’re leveraging technology to close gaps in care, improve health outcomes, and build trusted relationships with those they serve—often across miles of distance.
At PCC, we see the critical role nurses play in expanding access to care through innovation and compassion. Whether it’s a school-based telehealth visit, a virtual consultation, or a remote check-in with a chronically ill patient, nurses are leading the charge to make healthcare more accessible, equitable, and effective.
To every nurse—thank you. Your resilience, empathy, and expertise are the heartbeat of health care across South Carolina. This week, and every week, we honor your commitment and celebrate the impact you make.
Happy National Nurses Week from all of us at Palmetto Care Connections!
