Area hospitals, hospital systems and long-term care facilities were invited to partner with the university to recognize outstanding nurses and their contributions to health care.

"Area health care organizations rely on Marquette to train their future nurses to provide the highest quality of care," said Dr. Margaret Callahan, dean of the College of Nursing. "These 13 individuals signify the important role nurses play in today’s healthcare delivery and the caring nature of our profession. It is Marquette’s privilege to honor these outstanding nurses as models of their profession.”
The awards will be presented during a black tie event Saturday, Nov. 1, at 7 p.m., at the Marquette University Alumni Memorial Union, 1442 W. Wisconsin Ave. Cost is $125 per person. RSVP by Friday, Oct. 24, to Marquette University Special Events, at 414-288-7431.
