OHA Celebrates National Hospital Week by Sharing Messages of Gratitude Across Ohio

May 15, 2026

Each year, National Hospital Week serves as a meaningful opportunity to recognize the dedication, compassion and expertise of health care professionals who serve patients and communities around the clock. Observed annually in May, the week shines a spotlight on the critical role hospitals and health systems play in advancing public health, delivering lifesaving care and strengthening the fabric of communities across the nation.

In recognition of National Hospital Week, OHA is sharing messages of gratitude from leaders of our member hospitals on social media. Click the image above to see one of our videos.

Hospital leaders – from CEOs and chief nursing officers to department directors – have shared messages of thanks directed to the frontline caregivers, support staff and administrators who work tirelessly behind the scenes and at the bedside. These voices reflect not only professional respect, but deep personal appreciation for the resilience, innovation and commitment demonstrated across Ohio’s health care workforce.

We received enough submissions from leaders of our member hospitals across the state to create two separate videos. You can watch them by clicking on the links below. Please feel free to share these with your networks.
