Passing out the Magnet® Pins

Finding a new way to celebrate the nurses for this outstanding achievement included the distribution of Magnet® pins that they could proudly wear on their badges. The Magnet® team went from unit to unit thanking each nurse for their work and presented them with their pin.

The final step in honoring Henry Ford Hospital nurses was installing a large banner at the Main Entrance to the hospital and several banners on the light posts leading up from the street to the entrance.
