Congratulations to UTMB's Good Samaritan Excellence in Nursing Award recipients!
We are incredibly proud to recognize these outstanding nurses for their selflessness, compassion and dedication to patient care. Thank you for being shining examples of what it means to be a caregiver!
Through the Excellence in Nursing Awards, the Good Samaritan Foundation encourages others to celebrate and recognize individual nurses who excel in their chosen fields. Nurses are nominated by their peers for their passion, leadership, mentorship and service to Texas communities. All nominations are reviewed and scored by a selection committee comprised of many clinical leaders in the Texas Medical Center.
The purpose of the Good Samaritan Foundation Excellence in Nursing Awards is to recognize those nurses who are leaders at the bedside offering extraordinary and compassionate care and service. While degrees, certifications and research exhibit great dedication on the candidates' part for developing professionally, the foundation’s focus is on the nominees’ stories of the work they do every day servicing patients, families, employees and students.
UTMB's Leanne Buffaloe was the Gold Award winner in the Small Hospital category. UTMB also had more than 50 Bronze Award winners.
