Bethesda, MD (May 10, 2023) – This week, Walter Reed is celebrating its nurses in appreciation of National Nurses Week through various events, including the unveiling of a photo wall exhibit inside the medical center’s dining facility, Café 8901.

Giovanni Muhammad, a registered nurse at Walter Reed and a New York native, led the efforts by planning, creating, and unveiling the Nurses Week Photo Wall exhibit during the ribbon cutting.

“Too often, we take care of our beloved patients, our families, and everyone in between and forget to take care of ourselves and one another,” said Muhammad. “This is just a small token of my appreciation to my nurse colleagues for their hard work and dedication, caring for our nation’s heroes and their families.”

The Nurses Week Photo Wall will be on display inside Café 8901 until May 12, and Muhammad’s hope is that “every nurse who passes by this exhibit feels appreciated for all that they do.”

This year’s National Nurses Week theme, “Nurses Make a Difference: Anytime, Anywhere – Always,” is a testament to the hard work, dedication, and care Walter Reed nurses provide to our Nation's active duty, returning war heroes, veterans and our Nation's leaders.
