From Military Health System Communica- tions Office

The Military Health System held its third annual National Nurses Week wreath-laying ceremony Monday, May 6, 2019, at the American Red Cross headquarters in Washington, D.C. Nearly 100 guests, including dignitaries and luminaries of military nursing, filled Tiffany Circle Hall to honor the contributions, sacrifices, and bravery of past and present military and civilian nurses. National Nurses Week, an annual event that starts each May 6, concludes on May 12, the birthday of Florence Nightingale, internationally regarded as the founder of modern nursing. “Nurses are superheroes” is the theme for the MHS’s weeklong celebration this year. In her remarks during the live-stream- ed ceremony, Navy Rear Adm. Mary Riggs, the Defense Health Agency’s deputy assistant director for research and development and interim chief nursing officer, complimented nurses for their teamwork and sacrifices. “Nurses in every setting – whether aboard a ship at sea, in a civilian urgent care clinic, teaching in a classroom, or volunteering for a humanitarian mission overseas – are nurses who are performing heroic acts every single day.” Riggs also provided a historical perspective of how nurses have provided vital services and care on and off the battlefield since the Revolutionary War. She noted how momentum for the profession of nursing gained traction in the 1860s during the American Civil War, under the direction of Clara Barton, founder of the American Red Cross. Riggs described how the founding of the U.S. Navy Army Nurse Corps after the Spanish American War expanded to the estab- lishment of the Navy and Air Force Nurse Corps. Army Maj. Gen.
