Renown Regional Medical Center presented “Blessing of the Hands” Thursday to salute the nearly 1,200 nurses through the Renown Health Network who provide life-saving patient care and make the remarkable happen every day.
Two ceremonies took place in Fianna’s Healing Garden at the Reno center. The historical ceremony took place with clergy representing several faiths. Marina Roznitovsky, principal harpist with the Reno Chamber Orchestra, accompanied the event.
“Because touch is such an important component of health care, the Blessing of the Hands is especially meaningful to nurses,” said Jeff Stout, chief nursing officer.
