This week, we celebrate the incredible dedication, compassion, and skill of nurses everywhere. Nurses do so much more than provide medical care—they are advocates, educators, and trusted partners for individuals with disabilities and their families. From supporting developmental needs and coordinating care to ensuring every person is seen, heard, and valued, nurses play a vital role in creating inclusive, accessible, and compassionate systems of care.

To all the nurses who uplift, empower, and make a difference every single day—thank you. Your work changes lives in ways that truly matter.
