Nursing Excellence Awards 2021

Our annual Nursing Excellence Awards allow us to celebrate the more than 9,600 dedicated nurses who care for patients in our hospitals, neighborhood health centers, in home care and every corner of our health care system. Every day, our nurses reach beyond their routine duties to ensure patients are taking better charge of their own health and the health of their families. We thank them for all they do.
