PerfectServe Honors Over 200 Outstanding Nurses in Third Annual 'Nurses of Note' Awards Program
Stories from honorees, who come from 35 states and multiple countries and represent the very best of the nursing profession, will be shared throughout the year on PerfectServe channels
KNOXVILLE, Tenn., May 9, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- PerfectServe®, a leading provider of cloud-based clinical collaboration and provider scheduling solutions, today announced the honorees of the 2023 Nurses of Note awards program. The list includes over 200 winners from 35 states plus Washington, D.C., Australia, Canada, the Philippines, and South Africa, and represents nurses who are sources of inspiration for others in their field and whose dedication and professionalism have gone above and beyond the call of duty.
"It is a privilege to witness firsthand to the incredible work nurses do every day," said Paul Coyne, DNP, MBA, MS, APRN, AGPCNP-BC, a 2021 Nurses of Note honoree who serves as Senior Vice President and Chief Nursing Executive at New York-based Hospital for Special Surgery. "These individuals represent the best of humanity – they are smart, selfless, and fiercely dedicated to their patients. I could write a novel extolling their virtues, and it still wouldn't be enough space to tell the whole story. I was touched to be included in the Nurses of Note program a few years ago, and I'm glad to see such a deserving new group of honorees receiving recognition this year."
"Nurses of Note is now in its third year, and we've had the distinct honor of celebrating close to 500 winners in that short time," said PerfectServe Chief Clinical Officer Kelly Conklin. "Nursing is what drew me into healthcare, so of course this program is especially near and dear to my heart. Though I'm no longer serving patients at the bedside, I still remember that time fondly and consider nurses to be some of the very best difference makers and problem solvers around. I extend my heartiest thanks and congratulations to all of our honorees!"
PerfectServe will highlight these nurses and their stories throughout the month of May on the company blog and across LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter. The first profile details the incredible efforts of the nursing team at Blue Mountain Hospital, a critical access facility located in rural Blanding, Utah. Despite being faced with numerous challenges—from the ripple effects of a prolonged COVID pandemic to a relative lack of money and other resources—the talented nurses at Blue Mountain are never deterred from providing the best, most dedicated care for their patients and the community at large.
To further celebrate and recognize nurses beyond National Nurses Month, PerfectServe will continue to highlight honorees with a series of profiles throughout the year.
