OF NURSES

JOIN US FOR A GALA EVENT ON JULY 17

AS WE HONOR THE PEOPLE WHO TAKE CARING TO A WHOLE NEW LEVEL.

Nominate a local nurse for the Nightingale, Barton or Whitman awards!

The Nightingale Award

This award recognizes a lifetime of dedicated service in the field of nursing. The recipient exemplifies the spirit of Florence Nightingale, who laid groundwork for modern nursing by founding the Nightingale School of Nursing in 1860, and devoted her life to reforming her country’s health care system. The award is presented to a special individual who spent at least 20 years making a difference in numerous lives and leaving a lasting legacy of compassionate care.

THE BARTON AWARD

This awards pays tribute to a caregiver who has spent at least 10 years contributing to the well-being of others. He or she will have a record of going above and beyond the call of duty, just as Clara Barton did during the Civil War when she volunteered to bring medical supplies to the front lines and stayed to administer to sick and wounded soldiers.

The Whitman Award

This award is presented to a unique person who has been involved in nursing or a related field for less than 10 years and is well on their way to leaving an indelible mark on society. Like, Whitman, who visited more than 100,000 wounded soldiers during just three years as a volunteer nurse during the Civil War, the recipient of the award bearing his name will have accomplished great things in a short time.
