National Nurses Week is a time to appreciate healthcare providers, who put themselves at risk, daily, while protecting the greater community. Celebrated annually for one week in May, Nurses Week was founded nationally to recognize the many contributions that nurses make to the communities they serve. For 2025, the week kicks off on National Nurses Day, May 6, and ends on May 12, the birthday of the woman credited with foudning the modern nursing profession, Florence Nightingale. Toledo City Paper recognizes the impact that local nurses have in our community.

HLH Orthodontics originally started as Sylvania Orthodontics and was founded by Dr. Eugene Simon in 1981. Besides offering traditional metal and clear braces, HLH is also a premier provider of Invisalign® and Invisalign Teen® and uses innovative methods like growth guidance appliances to help correct severe overbites and minimize the need for extractions or orthognathic surgery.
Although the key demographic for orthodontic treatment has traditionally been middle schoolers through high schoolers, the introduction of clear ceramic braces and Invisalign has greatly increased the number of adult patients in treatment. Often, treatment is most efficient and effective when a patient has all, or most, of their permanent teeth and is still growing, which is why so many teens and pre-teens get braces. However, we have patients of all ages.
HLH believes a smile can make a huge difference in someone’s life. The nurses and doctors love seeing how patient smiles and self-confidence improve through orthodontic treatment.
