Philadelphia, May 6, 2025 – On this National Nurses Day, the Sbarro Health Research Organization (SHRO) proudly joins the United States in recognizing and celebrating the extraordinary role of nurses in the American healthcare system.
Held annually on May 6, National Nurses Day marks the beginning of National Nurses Week, a dedicated time to acknowledge the contributions, skills and unwavering commitment of nurses. Often referred to as National RN Recognition Day, it serves as a reminder of the essential presence of nurses in every aspect of care, from emergency rooms to research labs, from public health initiatives to chronic care management.
At SHRO, we know that advancing science and protecting lives go hand in hand. Nurses are at the heart of both missions. They not only care for patients with professionalism and empathy, but also serve as vital partners in clinical research and prevention strategies.
