Every patient who walks through our doors is met by a nurse. It might be for a blood draw, an emergency, a post-op check-in, or a quiet conversation when things feel uncertain. No matter the reason, our nurses show up — skilled, steady, and full of heart.
During National Nurses Week, we pause to say what we mean every day: Thank you.
At Mid Coast Health System, our nurses do more than deliver care. They listen, advocate, comfort, and carry the weight of hard days with quiet strength. In Texas, that kind of dedication means even more. Nurses here aren’t just healthcare providers — they’re neighbors, church members, parents, and friends. They understand our communities because they are their communities.
“The nurses at Mid Coast are the backbone of our hospitals,” said Brett Kirkham, CEO. “Their clinical skill is top-notch, but what sets them apart is how deeply they care about every single patient who comes through their doors. They don’t clock out of that.”
From our ERs and inpatient floors to our clinics and physical rehabilitation services, our nurses bring knowledge, patience, and grit. This week, and every week, we recognize and thank them — for their work, their care, and their unwavering presence.
If you see one of our nurses, reaffirm that they make Texas stronger.
