Nurses honored for excellence, compassion
Dallas, Texas — An exceptional group of 15 Medical City Healthcare nurses have been named to two prestigious lists for excellence in nursing: the 2025 DFW “Great 100 Nurses” and the D Magazine Excellence in Nursing Awards. These honors recognize nurses for their skills across all disciplines, including patient care, academics, education, community service, research, and leadership roles.
