U.S. Air Force nurses from the left are Lt. Lydia Masserine, Lt. Stella Makar, Lt. Dorothy Wood, Lt. Hope Toone, Lt. j.g. Mae Hanson, and Ensign Winnifred Jennings in the South Pacific in the Spring of 1945. The Defense Health Agency is celebrating National Nurses Week 2026 May 6-12, and it’s almost 250 years of nursing legacy. Built upon a rich history of supporting warfighter medical readiness, military nurses spearhead force health protection, combat care, and the ability of service members to stay healthy and ready for the mission.
