2022 Award Winners: 40 Under 40 Emerging Nurse Leaders
The Illinois Nurses Foundation is proud to announce the 2022 40 under 40 Emerging Nurse Leaders Award winners. This award was established in 2015 by the Illinois Nurses Foundation to highlight and celebrate young nurse leaders. It celebrates those who are impacting health care and the nursing profession today and who will undoubtedly shape the future of the profession in Illinois!
This year’s winners come from all over Illinois and work in a variety of health care environments—public schools, county health departments, university medical centers, children’s hospitals, ICUs, and more! No matter where they work—or their official titles—these nursing leaders teach, heal, and inspire those around them every day. Their passion, skill, and knowledge advance health care and the nursing profession in their work environments and in their communities. We know that this is only the beginning for all these amazing nursing leaders!
An event honoring the award winners will occur on September 22, 2022 starting at 5:30pm at the DoubleTree by Hilton Lisle/Naperville. Registration is required.
