Dallas, TX - An outstanding group of 25 Medical City Healthcare nurses has been named to the 2023 DFW “Great 100 Nurses” and the D Magazine Excellence in Nursing Awards. These elite honors recognize nurses for excellence and their skills in the science of nursing across all disciplines including patient care, academics, education, community service, research and leadership roles.
The DFW Great 100 organization noted that over 700 applications were received this year, many more than in prior years. Of more than 50,000 nurses practicing in North Texas, only 100 honorees are named to the list as examples of excellence for being compassionate caregivers, leaders, role models and significant contributors to the nursing profession.
