Lakeland Regional Medical Center recently honored 34 nurses with “Excellence in Nursing” awards and one new nurse with the “Rookie of the Year” award. Each recipient was nominated by his or her manager and peers for exemplifying nursing excellence, quality caring and professional leadership. In addition, the honorees are known for displaying LRMC’s values of care, quality, stewardship, accountability, integrity and courtesy. These nurses go above and beyond as they represent excellence in their field and a commitment to clinical expertise.
This recognition program was developed through LRMC’s Nursing Shared Governance Council. Congratulations to each of our recipients, and thank you to every Lakeland Regional nurse and caregiver for your commitment to improve lives by delivering exceptional healthcare.
