Today, thousands of American Red Cross nurses continue Clara’s original mission: delivering kindness and lifesaving care to those in need. Providing essential care in the wake of disasters, our nursing team is vital to our work from coast to coast. That’s why, in honor of National Nurses’ Week, and National Nurses’ Month throughout all of May, we’re inviting you to look back on the history of the Red Cross Nursing Service — from the Civil War to the Spanish Flu epidemic and beyond. [We invite you to learn more about the 140-year legacy of the Red Cross Nursing Service and how our nurses continue to transform lives today.]( [EXPLORE THEIR HISTORY]( Thank you for helping us to celebrate National Nurses’ Week!  — The American Red Cross Nursing Team [Subscribe]( | [Contact Us]( | [Privacy Policy]( | [Unsubscribe]( | [View in Browser]( Staying in touch via the American Red Cross email list is the best way we have of keeping in regular contact with supporters like you, letting you know about how you can protect yourself and your loved ones from disasters and other emergencies, and how you can support our life-saving work.
