Florence Nightingale Foundation (Hong Kong)
"What nursing has to do … is to put the patient in the best condition for nature to act upon him."
- Florence Nightingale (1860)
About Us
The Florence Nightingale Foundation (Hong Kong) was established in 2009 with the purpose of encouraging Hong Kong nurses to provide nursing and health education for the society and community through voluntary work, so as to continue the Florence Nightingale spirit.

Accreditation
"Healthcare organizations with the mission of caring for people in their homes provide a valuable service. Keeping these workers— nurses, therapists, hospice team members, aides, and others—who provide this care requires policies and procedures that focus on safety assessment, risk identification, and situation management."
- from International Guidelines for Home Health Nursing by American Nurses Association
