Today I Advance Patient Care
At Sanford Health we recognize the important role research plays in the care we give. We are proud of our nurses who consistently look for ways new research can improve patient care. Whether it’s applying best practices at the bedside, helping a patient choose a clinical trial, or developing health and wellness programs based on new research findings, Sanford Health nurses know these advancements make lives better. As part of the Year of the Nurse at Sanford Health, we thank our nurses. This day. Every day.
Meet three of our nurses using research to improve patient care.
