We are grateful to have such an amazing team of nurses across this organization”, says Melanie Berthot, R.N., Kintock’s Director of Nursing.

I am proud of the leadership that Melanie has provided to the department and the quality of services that the nursing staff provides to all clients.”, says Gretchen Wiseman, Kintock’s Chief Administrative Officer.

National Nurses Week 2023, which runs from May 6th to May 12th, is an annual celebration that aims to raise awareness of the critical role nurses play in the healthcare system. This year's theme is "Nurses: The Heart of Healthcare," highlighting the integral role that nurses play in providing compassionate and personalized care to patients of all ages and backgrounds.
