Honoring Nurses Lost on September 11, 2001

Today, we remember and honor the 11 nurses who lost their lives during the September 11 attacks, women like Touri Bolourchi, Lydia Bravo, and Christine Egan, who were going about their day when tragedy struck.

These nurses exemplified compassion, dedication, and service, even in the face of the unthinkable. Their loss underscores the profound risks healthcare professionals sometimes encounter, simply by fulfilling their calling.

Let us pause to reflect on their lives and the legacy of bravery they represent."
