Honor the Legacy of a Nurse
Whether we’re responding to the extraordinary life someone has lived or to our grief when they die, it’s common to share stories about inspirational people by contributing to the causes they love. The Illinois Nurses Foundation has two distinct programs meant to honor the legacy of a nurse.
