Employees Awarded Art of Nursing Honors

The Art of Nursing Program recognizes nursing staff throughout the GBMC Healthcare System who exemplify and embody the fundamental elements of the art of nursing in seven categories: diversity in nursing, clinical assistant support award, nurse clinician of the year, nursing evidence-based practice award, Mrs. H. Norman Baetjer, Jr. nursing graduate of the year, patient-and-family-centered care award, and nurse leader award.
