Care Dimensions Honors Nurses for Nurses Week, May 6 - 12

May 6, 2022

Care Dimensions, the largest provider of hospice and palliative care services for adults and children in Massachusetts, celebrates National Nurses Week, May 6 -12, by honoring its 278 nurses, most of whom are board certified in hospice and palliative care.

We recognize the Care Dimensions nurses for their professionalism, leadership and commitment to excellence in patient care at Care Dimensions.

“We are so proud of our nursing staff; nurses are gifted with the ability to discern the worry and apprehension that folks can’t quite get into words when they are feeling vulnerable and isolated,” said Care Dimensions’ President and CEO Patricia Ahern, RN, MBA, FACHE, a 45-year veteran in the field of nursing. “Their capacity to explain complicated medical information is something that everyone values and their strong communications skills help guide families through life’s most difficult moments.”

Since our founding in 1978 as the Hospice of North Shore, our nurses have helped our patients make the most of every day. We welcome new members to our team of caring, compassionate nurses. Visit www.CareDimensions.org/careers to learn more.
