Barco’s Nightingales Foundation was founded as a way of saluting the many generations of nurses for their tremendous contribution in making the world a better place for each of us. We are committed to supporting the vitality and courageous heart of nursing, and dedicated to honoring the spirit of those women and men who choose nursing
In that spirit, we are delighted to announce a very special campaign for National Nurses Month, a campaign that honors the extraordinary work of these women and men in their work life and as volunteers.
Barco’s Nightingales Foundation has pledged to make a donation of up to $15,000 to ReSurge International so that the organization’s volunteers can continue their compassionate and important work.

• Provide educational training and medical interchange.
• Assist host-country medical colleagues toward medical independence.
