Join us in honoring the incredible recipients of the 2026 Hartford HealthCare Nightingale Awards for Excellence in Nursing! These annual awards recognize outstanding nurses who have made significant contributions to the profession and have been nominated by their patients or peers.
The Nightingale Awards celebrate the dedication, compassion, and expertise of our nurses.
✨Meghan Smith, LPN ✨
Caring is multi-dimensional for Meghan. She treats all her patients, no matter their economic or cultural background, with respect and dignity. When a young, terminally ill woman with small children had to move, Meghan spent her own time moving and building furniture in their new home. Another patient, a veteran, lived in a hotel and she worked tirelessly to get him an apartment. Meghan wraps all interactions with emotional support and advocates for patients’ varied needs as part of her care.
Stay tuned as we share more stories of these exceptional nurses and their vital role in healthcare! 💙
