Inspire nurses to increase their positive impact on patient care and to continue to advance their careers in a variety of ways.
Recruit a new generation of nurses to help offset the current nursing shortage.

The Cameos of Caring program serves to highlight nurses who have demonstrated excellence in nursing care, served as an advocate for patients and families, and exemplifies the spirit of the nursing profession. It is an important way to honor outstanding nurses and increase the visibility of their contributions to health care.
