Thankful Family Supports National Nurses Week
To honor the caring nurses who provide hope and healing, Susan Taylor and her family give back to Scripps

Scripps Health, and former TV news anchor.
Scripps employee and former TV news anchor Susan Taylor had a life-changing experience when her father, Robert, needed open-heart surgery.
“Dad’s open-heart surgery was very complicated. His recovery took months, and I will never forget those wonderful nurses who helped us throw an 80th birthday party for him in the outdoor healing garden. They did so much for him. They’re my heroes and I’m forever grateful,” says Susan.
The experience moved Susan to join Scripps Health, and prompted her family to show their gratitude by donating to Scripps and helping others.
