National Occupational Health Nursing Week, April 16-20, is the time to recognize nurses who are the champions of protecting the health of employee populations.

"This year's theme recognizes occupational and environmental health nurses' (OHN) role in promoting health, safety, and productivity for the nation's workforce," said Susan A. Randolph, president of the American Association of Occupational Health Nurses, Inc. (AAOHN). "Through case management, counseling, health promotion and wellness activities, legal and regulatory compliance, and workplace hazard detection, OHNs improve the health of employees to contribute to a healthy bottom line for businesses."
