Good Samaritan Foundation – Excellence in Nursing Awards

Through the Excellence in Nursing (EIN) Awards, Good Samaritan Foundation (GSF) encourages others to celebrate and recognize individual nurses who excel in their chosen fields. Nurses are nominated by their peers for their passion, leadership, mentorship and service to our Texas communities.

All nominations will be reviewed and scored by a distinguished Selection Committee that is comprised of many clinical leaders in the Texas Medical Center.

The purpose of the Good Samaritan Foundation Excellence in Nursing Awards is to recognize those nurses who are leaders at the bedside offering extraordinary and compassionate care and service. While degrees, certifications and research exhibit great dedication on the candidate’s part for developing professionally the Foundation’s priority of focus is on the nominees’ stories of the work they do everyday servicing patients, families, employees and students.

Congratulations to our incredible nurses for earning gold, silver and bronze awards in recognition of their outstanding care and dedication to our patients.
