This year, let us give special attention to celebrate Mother’s Day (May 9) and Nurses Week (May 6–12). Local News for a Global Village | www.VoiceSB.com May 7, 2021 During the pandemic, many mothers and mother-figures became teachers, barbers, cooks, counselors, and schedulers, all while trying to work from home, manage a household, and care for their families. Nurses were, and continue to be, on the medical frontlines caring for patients in hospitals, clinics, facilities, and homes, all while directly facing the dangers of COVID19 themselves. The power of caring and caregiving is what drives mothers and nurses, and what endears them to our hearts. I am especially proud of our VNA Health Depression and Recession, World War I and II, andnurses for their courage, diligence, and compassion for our Dear Community Members, patients, and for each other.
