Summary
At the March 13 meeting Mayor Mary Parm Copelan proclaimed May 6–12, 2025 as National Nurses Week; the city welcomed the new CNO from Atrium Navent Baldwin and the Main Street Downtown Development Authority presented its third junior board class.
Mayor Mary Parm Copelan on March 13 read and signed a proclamation declaring May 6 through May 12, 2025, as National Nurses Week in Milligville and encouraged residents to celebrate nurses’ work and dedication.
The proclamation cites the critical role nurses play across care settings and notes rising demand for nursing services as the population ages. Mayor Copelan signed the document and invited attendees to acknowledge local nurses and healthcare staff.
A representative from Atrium Navent Baldwin, identifying themself as the health system’s new chief nursing officer, thanked the mayor and community and said they are "looking forward to becoming a resident here." The CNO asked the public to support healthcare workers and said, "we are there every day 24 hours a day to care for you and your loved ones."
In related community recognition, the Main Street Downtown Development Authority introduced its third class of Junior Board of Directors. The Main Street Director explained the program is intended to engage local high-school students in downtown fundraising and provide volunteer and leadership experience. The director read the students’ names and invited them forward to receive certificates and pins.
Context and next steps: The proclamation is ceremonial and does not create a municipal program or budgetary change. The junior board certificates represent a local youth-engagement initiative that will proceed with planned activities coordinated by the Main Street Downtown Development Authority.
