OCTOBER 5, 2006
  Invitation to Cover: The Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania’s Department of Emergency Nursing and the Red Cross Team Up to Donate Life
   
WHAT: Members of the media and public are invited to attend the annual blood drive jointly sponsored by the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania’s Department of Emergency Nursing and the Red Cross. The Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania Emergency Nurses Department is celebrating Emergency Nurses Week October 8-14. Emergency Nurses Day is Wednesday, October 11. This year’s theme, “Emergency Nurses: Always ready. Always caring.” reflects the dedication of emergency nurses in the United States and around the world.

Since 1989, the Emergency Nurses Association (ENA) has celebrated the second Wednesday in October as Emergency Nurses Day, a day set aside to honor emergency nurses for their commitment to patient care. Starting in 2001, ENA expanded the celebration to devote an entire week to honoring emergency nurses, because one day is simply not enough to recognize all contributions made by emergency nurses.
WHEN: Tuesday, October 10
2:00 pm – 8:00 pm
WHERE: Penn Tower Lobby
3400 Civic Center Boulevard
Philadelphia, PA

Editor's Note: All are welcome and encouraged to attend. All donors will get a free t-shirt.

Free parking available in Penn Tower garage.
