b'\\n\\n\\n\\nIn our May issue, we celebrate Nurses Week with this podcast on a program at Salem Hospital called Nurses Give Back. These projects addressed access to care and community health improvement activities (such as vaccination drives) and community building (working with Habitat for Humanity, for instance). Some were designed to provide money and in-kind contributions to chosen charities. Other projects benefited patients during hospitalization, such as the \\u201cClothing Closet,\\u201d which is stocked by the staff and offers items to homeless and low-income patients.'
