WATERTOWN â In the ever-evolving world of health care, one thing has remained constant through the years: nurses are an integral part of the health care system. They keep things running smoothly and put patients at ease during tough times.
In January 1974, the International Council of Nurses proclaimed May 12 as International Nurses Day.

CARTHAGE, N.Y. (WWNY) - After a challenging year, there’s a dose of appreciation for nurses. It’s National Nurses Week.
Michael Morgia, a registered nurse, started his career within the last year. Why does he do this job? He looks back to his childhood.

CARTHAGE â First, Carthage Area Hospital secured designation for a rural health clinic, which needed to be achieved before the 2020 census. Now, it is moving ahead with its plan for a new, consolidated campus, building a facility to house a new hospital along with four remote clinics.
In continuation of the hospital replacement project, Carthage Area Hospital will be expanding its footprint with a new attachment to its Walk-In Clinic/RHC site. This will allow for expanded primary care services in the area. Expected completion of the clinic is set for fall 2021.
CEO Richard Duvall has said the economic impact of the new campus will sustain the hospital for the next 40 years and will spur other economic development in the area. As previously reported, this is between a $60 million and $70 million program coming to Carthage.
