Advocacy is at the heart of everything we do and our Advocacy team brings that to life every day.
This team works closely with members and families to help them understand their care, navigate decisions, and feel supported when things get complicated. They’re often the steady voice when people are looking for an answer. Thank you!
Happy Nurses Week to all of our Guardian Nurses!
“All night, he kept hearing the same overhead alert. After the fourth or fifth time, he finally asked the nurse, ‘What is a Code Gray?’”
Guardian Nurses Founder and President Betty Long shared this story at the GPBCH Regional Leapfrog Quality and Safety Awards in Philadelphia.
She reflected on a recent conversation with her own family—and how something so routine in a hospital can still be completely unknown to the people inside it. That disconnect says a lot about how hidden workplace violence remains in healthcare, even for those closest to us.
Behind every “routine” shift, too many nurses are absorbing moments of fear, disruption, and harm while still expected to deliver calm, steady care.
“You cannot have patient safety without healthcare worker safety.”
Thank you to GPBCH for inviting Guardian Nurses into this important conversation and for elevating what healthcare workers are carrying every day.
Two nurses. One powerful duo.
Our Hybrid Programs team may be just two nurses, but they do a lot of heavy lifting across a variety of programs, helping make sense of care when things feel anything but simple.
Today, we’re proud to spotlight this small but mighty duo. Happy Nurses Week!
Our biggest team brings a big impact!

Thank you team for the care and support you bring to every person you work with.
It’s a federal crime to assault federal officers and airline crew members. Healthcare workers, however, don’t have the same level of protection.
This #NursesWeek, nearly 19,000 people have signed a petition urging Congress to pass the Save Healthcare Workers Act, which would make assaulting hospital staff a federal crime.
According to Nurse.org’s 2026 survey, 27% of nurses report being physically assaulted on the job in the past year, and 52% say they’ve faced verbal threats or aggression.
Betty Long, MHA, RN, founder and president of @guardiannurses Healthcare Advocates, started this petition to push for the bill to reach the House floor.
