Greater Hartford

The Nightingale Awards for Excellence in Nursing program was originally developed by the Visiting Nurse Association of South Central CT (VNA/SCC) to be a collaborative effort to celebrate outstanding nurses and elevate the nursing profession. The goals of the program are to encourage retention, inspire future nurses, focus public attention and recognize the breadth and scope of nursing practice at the local level.

Since  2003, the Greater Hartford Nightingale Awards Gala has honored 694 nurses and  has awarded $44,000 in nursing scholarships to local nursing students.  Join us at the Hartford Marriott Downtown on  May 6, 2010 as we recognize 100 of Greater Hartford’s exceptional nurses and  celebrate the 10th Anniversary of the Nightingale Program’s  inception.
