When we began producing this publication, the world was different. Like everywhere, coronavirus COVID-19 hit the Delaware region strongly and swiftly, putting ChristianaCare caregivers at the frontline of a globally scaled public health crisis. And never has the Magnet® excellence of our nurses been more apparent than during these days of the pandemic.
Although there was much to celebrate in 2019, my message here is really a celebration of ChristianaCare nurses today. In some of the hardest professional days our nurses have ever experienced, even as they deal with pandemic-related stresses at home, they’re demonstrating tremendous bravery and sacrifice. Across the health system and our home health agency, nurses are going above and beyond to help patients and each other.
