Cincinnati Business Courier: Mount St. Joseph University Honors Nurses who “Light the Way” for Patients and the Greater Cincinnati Community

These awards recognized six outstanding nurses from across the Tri-State area, alongside four student scholarship recipients, whose passion and purpose are Lighting the Way for future generations.

The blind-reviewed awards honored leaders across healthcare administration, education, research, and lifetime achievement, including executives from St. Elizabeth Healthcare, TriHealth, The Christ Hospital, and Cincinnati Children's for their dedication to workplace safety, clinical mentorship, and patient care. Each nomination highlights a shared values-driven quality across all the award recipients.

"When we review nominations, we consider both what these nurses have accomplished and how they've done it," Darla Vale, Ph.D., RN, dean of the MSJ School of Health Sciences told Business Courier. "Again and again, we hear about people who mentor others, share credit, and genuinely care about those around them."
