Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, May 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- For National Nurses Week, May 6-12, Simple Modern will launch a multi-hospital initiative, partnering with healthcare teams across the country to recognize and support nurses.
As part of the initiative, Simple Modern is collaborating with four hospital systems:
- Banner Heart Hospital in Mesa, Arizona
- Barnes-Jewish Hospital in St. Louis, Missouri
- McLaren Port Huron Cardiac in Port Huron, Michigan
- OU Health in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
Each hospital will receive 100 water bottles from its Mesa Loop collection for nursing staff as a small token of appreciation for the essential, around-the-clock care they provide.
“Nurses carry an incredible load every day, physically, emotionally and mentally,” said Chris Hoyle, Simple Modern Chief Marketing Officer. “We wanted to show up in a way that’s actually useful during a long shift, not just symbolic, and in a way that could support them everywhere they go.”
The initiative reflects Simple Modern’s broader mission to “exist to give generously,” which includes donating at least 10% of annual profits to nonprofit organizations and community efforts.
“Our goal was to keep this simple for hospital teams while still creating something that feels genuine,” Hoyle said. “This is a small way to say thank you, and to make sure more people hear directly from the nurses doing this work every day.”
National Nurses Week is celebrated annually from May 6-12, recognizing the contributions and impact of nurses across the healthcare system.
