This year, 20 Baylor Health Care System nurses from six Baylor hospitals spanning the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex were named to the prestigious DFW Great 100 Nurses list. The annual list recognizes outstanding nurses for being role models in leadership, service to the community and compassion, as well as their significant contributions to the art and science of nursing.
Great 100 Nurses are nominated by their peers, patients, families, physicians and administrators. They will be celebrated at an awards ceremony on May 14 at the Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center in Dallas. The DFW Great 100 Nurses Inc. is celebrating its 24th year of recognizing nurses, and the award is highly regarded as an esteemed honor throughout the North Texas health care community.
