These winners represent a variety of healthcare professionals, from hospital employees and visiting nurses to dental hygienists and nurse anesthetists. Each one was chosen for their exemplary service and care to those in need—going above and beyond what’s expected of them.
“The recipients of the 2009 Cherokee Inspired Comfort Award illustrate the power that a single healthcare professional with a vision can have on their communities, region and on their fellow man a world away,” says Michael Singer, CEO of Cherokee Uniforms. “Each is a sparkling example of the excellence that healthcare professionals provide to countless patients across America, and we are honored to salute these recipients.”
A panel of Cherokee representatives and past Cherokee Inspired Comfort Award recipients selected the honorees. The candidates were nominated for their exceptional service, sacrifice and innovation in one of four categories: Advanced Practice Nurse, Registered Nurse, Licensed Practical Nurse/Licensed Vocational Nurse, and Non-Physician Healthcare Professional.
Since the Cherokee Inspired Comfort Award was established in 2003, more than 7,000 healthcare professionals have been nominated in the Registered Nurse, Advanced Practice Nurse, Licensed Practical Nurse/Licensed Vocational Nurse, Student Nurse and Non-Physician Healthcare Professional categories. A panel of Cherokee representatives and past Cherokee Inspired Comfort Award recipients evaluates nominations and grants the awards.
