National Nurses Day is celebrated each year on May 6th to raise awareness of the important role that nurses play within the healthcare system. Nurses are on the front lines every day, and are often the first and last person that you see during a hospital visit. Nurses make up the largest percentage of the U.S. healthcare workforce, and work hard to keep their patients healthy and happy!
While Nursing is sometimes thought of as a “behind the scenes” profession, we want to bring recognition of Heritage Valley’s nursing staff to the forefront! We appreciate all that they do, and we couldn’t be prouder of them. So... to all of our nurses, thank you for providing such wonderful care to our patients!

For 23 years, Heritage Valley Health System has been proud to be the corporate sponsor of the Beaver Volunteer Fire Department 5K/10K Race, the longest continual and most attended organized race in Beaver County.
The annual race/walk, which will take place on Saturday, May 31, is Beaver County’s premier race event and uses a scenic route through the historic neighborhoods of Beaver. The 10K race will begin promptly at 8:00 am, followed by the toddler trot (ages 3 – 5) at 9 am and the 5K race/walk at 9:30 am. A long stretch of the race course overlooks the majestic Ohio River. In the event of dangerous weather, the race may be delayed, but will still be held.
Intersections will be monitored by police, fire fighters and community volunteers to avoid any problems with cars and race participants. For safety reasons, dogs are not permitted. Water and fruit will be provided at the finish line, and an awards ceremony will follow the conclusion of the 5K race.
Shirts are guaranteed with registration through Friday, May 16, 2025. For additional information and to register, please visit https://runsignup.com/Race/PA/Beaver/BFVDRace.
