UW Health: Opportunity for Businesses to Show Appreciation for Nurses

UW Health partners with Greater Madison Chamber of Commerce to encourage discounts for all community RNs in May 2022

UW Health is proud to partner with the Greater Madison Chamber of Commerce to encourage local businesses to consider offering discounts to nurses in our community during National Nurses Week, May 6-12 or throughout the month of May.

Nurses Week poses a unique opportunity for Madison businesses to show their appreciation for all the highly valued nurses in our community—often considered healthcare heroes—who’ve endured an exceptionally long pandemic. This opportunity would allow the Chamber and member businesses to thank all nurses (not just UW Health nurses) during this special time.

“Local discounts have been provided in the past and our nurses love it,” states Nichole Lloyd, BSN, RN, Chair of the UW Health Nursing Recognition Council. “Food options are always popular as nurses often pick it up on their way to work or after a long shift, or they order meals for teams during a shift. It also makes the nurses feel appreciated and supported by the community.” Lloyd comments that discounts at any local business are always appreciated among her nursing colleagues.

If your business is able to offer a discount to nurses in the Greater Madison Area from May 6-12 or throughout the month of May, please complete this simple form by Friday, April 29. UW Health and the Chamber will then share the final list of participating businesses to make all community nurses aware of these local discounts.

Please direct any questions to: JoAnn Feeney, UW Health Nursing Administration, at jfeeney@uwhealth.org

We hope you consider this opportunity to show your business’s support of community nurses while enjoying some added exposure for your business among thousands of nurses.
