Our Vision
Our Mission
Our vision is to make sure that when a New York State nurse is coming to the end of life or has passed away, that nurse is not forgotten. Volunteer nurses from all over New York are committed to remembering the careers and commitment of their colleagues.
Our Mission
Our Mission
Our mission is primarily two-fold: to pay tribute to nurses throughout New York State at funerals or celebrations of life, as well as providing services for nurses who are approaching end of life with a "Living Tribute," where they are honored for their dedication to the profession of nursing.
Our Chapters
Our Chapters
We've grown from one chapter that started because of the passing of a beloved colleague to 24 chapters that now cover 59 of the 62 counties of New York State.
Join a Nurses Honor Guard Chapter and Help Honor Nurses
The work we do is beautiful.
Nurses have long been recognized as people worthy of honor, but a world-wide pandemic made it obvious just how important nurses are in delivering quality healthcare.
The Nurses Honor Guard Chapters of New York State are made up of nurses across the state whose mission is to make sure that at the end of their lives or at their passing, no nurse is forgotten. Anyone who has ever worked as a nurse (LPN, RN, CRNA, CNM, or NP) is eligible to have us honor that work. Nurse Honor Guard chapters throughout New York volunteer their time to make sure that when a family wishes to honor their loved one's dedication to the profession of nursing, we are there.
