Blessing of the Hands ceremony honors WTB nurses healing ‘touch’
Summary
Lt. Col. Chris Cook, commander, 1st Battalion, Warrior Transition Brigade, thanks WTB nurse case managers for their dedication to helping others in a Blessing of the Hands ceremony, May 7, to kick off National Nurses Week, which is May 6-12. The annual ritual honors the role of nurses in providing compassionate care to others as well as reaffirms their commitment to the nursing profession. Throughout the week, WTB nurse case managers will hold various events, including a brigade-wide walk-run, a zumba fitness dance and a cake-cutting ceremony. The ceremony was held in front of the WTB’s new 160-room living quarters for ill, injured and wounded soldiers that will open June 6.
