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.
In 2003, the program grew to include Galas in Eastern
Connecticut, Fairfield County and Hartford, as well
as the original program in New Haven.
