Health Unit Coordinator Recognition Week
August 23-29
How it all began…
Myrna LaFleur, who became the NAHUC founding president, invited several interested persons to meet with her in Phoenix, Arizona, on August 23, 1980, to discuss the formation of an association for health unit coordinators. This was the first meeting and resulted in selecting the name of the association. Each year thereafter, August 23 has been declared Health Unit Coordinator Day by many mayors and governors nationwide, who issue proclamations declaring August 23 “Health Unit Coordinator Day”. Beginning in 2017, NAHUC expanded the recognition period to a full week: August 23-29.

Happy Health Unit Coordinators Week to all of the hard work men and women across the country. Thank you so much for what you do each and everyday to keep our hospitals, clinics, surgery centers, etc. running properly. We salute you!!!
Thank you for all of your support and educational options, after having been a Unit Clerk for 19 years I found this program and gladly took the leap and gained my HUC certification.. with the support of my Clinical Leaders and Educational Nurse as well.
Greetings hereafter Darrell Reid CEO Blessings Group. Respectfully likes to congratulate our colleagues in all aspects of the health care industry and encouragements for our future possibilities together. God bless us and remain within the struggle. Gets better 💪 in time. Credibility Submitted:
I’m glad to see some organization who appreciate their unit coordinators. I have been in the emergency department at our hospital in Morehead City North Carolina and they have never recognized UC week at all. We see the nurses, CNA’s, engineering, pharmacy, IT, etc celebrating their weeks, getting raises, and the organization going out of their way to show how appreciative they are of all they do, but never us. I hope that culture is not in every hospital or medical system out there and that those who are in this role do know their true worth and what a difference they make.
