RYE, N.H., Feb. 5, 2021 /PRNewswire/ To mark National Cancer Prevention Day on Feb. 4, the National Cancer Prevention Workshop welcomed more than 70 speakers for a virtual workshop that was viewed by students, legislators, physicians, nurse and public health professionals.
To mark the day, state flags were flown at the capitols of Virginia, Michigan and New Hampshire and at the U.S. Capitol. When we founded National Cancer Prevention Day in 2013, we had no way of understanding how many would embrace it, said Less Cancer Founder Bill Couzens. Our workshop has grown to include global participants from over 10 countries. The impact lasts all year as thousands of students register for the training on Coursera.
While the COVID-19 pandemic rages on worldwide with new variants, the urgency for Kentucky nurses to continue to be on the frontlines now extends out to a massive vaccine campaign. Just like Florence Nightingale, mother of modern nursing, and Mary Jane Seacole, British-Jamaican nurse and business woman, did in the Crimean war, nurses today are working 24/7 to get the mission accomplished. Â
Although the practice settings may change from a critical care unit one day and the next day a large parking lot tent or football stadium or drive-through clinic, the shepherding of public health in the commonwealth, its citizens and students remains the same.
