Congratulations to the 2018 Nurse Excellence Award Winners

Nurse Excellence Awards

Twenty-six MHS nursing professionals were honored as Nurse Excellence Award winners at a luncheon on Friday, May 11. The theme for the ceremony was “Superheroes” and each awardee received a superhero cape to wear for the luncheon. Many of them are pictured below. 

The Professional Development Council used a scoring system to select winners from the nurses nominated for the 2017 Nursing Excellence Award Program. Winners must exemplify a day-to-day demonstration of the core values of the organization, including patient focus, honor and respect, excellence and teamwork, and service to the community.
