Nurses Week 2026

By Jorge Gomez

Irwin Army Community Hospital celebrates an enduring tradition carried by Florence Nightingale for National Nurses Week 2026. Watch as the ceremonial flame of nursing is passed forward through the generations of our IACH team. From our Honored Nurse Emeriti to the Rising Generation of new nurses taking up the mantle, this flame represents a shared responsibility to guide, support, and advocate for those in our care.

To all the nurses who have served, are serving, and will serve the Big Red One community, thank you!

Your light is your power.
