The Independence Blue Cross (Independence) Celebrate Caring campaign shines a light on extraordinary nurses in our community.
For the fifth year, we’re honoring and rewarding the region’s top nurses. We’ve selected three winners and seven honorees from hundreds of nominations from patients, coworkers, family, and friends — the people who have been touched by their compassion and commitment to nursing excellence.
Winners will be featured on iHeartRadio and CBS News Philadelphia. Read more about their stories on the IBX Insights blog and follow the Independence Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter accounts for more Celebrate Caring content.
Nurses do so much to keep our families and communities safe and healthy. Thank you for everything you do!
