While 2020 was declared “The Year of the Nurse” it was clear we needed a special way to recognize nurses. We created a comic book portraying the real feats of heroism performed by nurses, working with Marvel Entertainment, to bring it to life. What started out as an effort to recognize nurses exceeded our wildest expectations. “The Vitals” was Marvel’s #1 digital comic of 2020 with over 560 million earned media impressions. Most importantly, we recognized nurses for all they’ve done during our greatest time of need.
