Kicking off the new year with intention and inspiration 💚

Our esteemed Senior Director of Pathway to Excellence® and Well-Being Excellence® Programs, Dr. Christine Pabico, is beginning the year by prioritizing her own health while supporting the Healthy Nurse, Healthy Nation™ (HNHN) initiative. During a recent visit to Honolulu, HI, she challenged herself by hiking to the top of Koko Head—a steep and demanding trail with nearly 1,200 feet of elevation. While the climb was tough, she credits motivation and persistence for helping her reach the top.

Not everyone may be ready for a challenge like this—and that’s perfectly okay. A new year is about starting where you are, whether that means taking a bold step or simply taking a small one. Every step counts.

While many welcomed the new year with fireworks, nurses welcomed it with presence—at the bedside, in the clinic, in the community, and in every moment care is needed most.

Nurses don’t just start a new chapter; they help patients believe one is possible.

Here’s to a year shaped by compassion, courage, and the unstoppable impact of nursing.
