Naval Health Clinic Lemoore kicked off Nurses Week on May 6 with the Blessing of the Hands. This year, the chaplain from Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 17, Lt. Kurt Hagestuen walked around the clinic blessing the hands of participating nurses. The Blessing of the Hands is a non-denominational ritual where a chaplain or spiritual leader blesses or anoints the hands of each nurse.
