  • A recap of the 12th annual School Nurse Fun Run!

It was a beautiful night to go for a walk or run!  Thursday Sept 11, 2025 was the 12th annual School Nurse Fun Run to support the Holland Hospital School Nurse Program.  Over 250 participants aged 1-84 took to the streets starting at Holland High School to embrace the race's motto of “Healthy Families Stay Active”.  Participants could choose to complete a 1.5 or 3 mile course.  What event could be complete without activities and food!  Thank you to all those that provided food or activity or a booth with information!

The Holland Hospital School Nursing Program started in 1998 with 1 school nurse, 1 health aide and 1 school building in Holland Public Schools.  The School Nurse Program now employs 11 nurses, and 1 Community Health Worker in 6 school districts.  

The School Nurse Run started in 2013 and has helped raise almost $400,000 to support the School Nurse Program.  Thank you to those who participated, sponsored, or donated this year, your support means so much to the school nurses!
