Today, I am sharing something that weighs heavily on my heart.

I was disappointed that I did not have the opportunity to present my statement at the American Nurses Association Membership Assembly regarding the recent Supreme Court ruling affecting Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for individuals from Haiti and Syria.

As a nurse, educator, advocate, and immigrant ally, I cannot remain silent.
This issue goes far beyond politics. It is about people, families, dignity, and health.
When individuals live in fear of deportation or family separation, they often avoid seeking healthcare - even when critically ill. Fear becomes a barrier to healing. Chronic conditions worsen. Mental health suffers. Families live in constant uncertainty.

We must also acknowledge something important: immigrants are not only recipients of care - they are essential providers of care. They serve every day as nurses, physicians, nursing assistants, home health aides, and caregivers in our hospitals, clinics, and communities.

At a time when our nation continues to face healthcare workforce shortages, policies that destabilize immigrant communities affect us all.

I believe strongly that immigration policy is health policy.

Our profession is grounded in compassion, advocacy, justice, and human dignity.

We must use our voices to protect vulnerable communities and advocate for humane policies.
History will remember whether we chose silence or solidarity.

I choose solidarity. 💙

Respectfully,

On behalf of the Executive Board, I extend our deepest gratitude and admiration to nurses across our nation and around the world. This year’s theme, “The Power of Nurses,” beautifully captures the strength, compassion, resilience, and unwavering commitment that nurses demonstrate every single day.
Nurses are the heartbeat of healthcare. Through moments of healing, uncertainty, joy, and loss, nurses remain steadfast advocates, caregivers, educators, and leaders. The power of nurses is not only seen in clinical skills and professional excellence, but also in the kindness offered to a frightened patient, the comfort given to families, and the courage shown during the most challenging times.
Today, we honor every nurse whose dedication continues to transform lives and strengthen communities. Your sacrifices do not go unnoticed, and your impact reaches far beyond hospital walls. You inspire hope, promote healing, and embody the very essence of humanity and service.
As the President of HANA International, I am profoundly proud to stand alongside extraordinary professionals. Together with the Executive Board, we celebrate your achievements, recognize your sacrifices, and thank you for the invaluable care you provide every day.
Happy International Nurses Week!
With gratitude and appreciation,
Marie Edeline Hyppolite
