EVENT LEADERSHIP
Chair
Karyl James, Regional Nursing Officer for Mercy Oklahoma City
We celebrate the nursing profession by recognizing extraordinary nurses throughout our community and honoring those who make a difference in the lives of so many.
Whether serving as educators, researchers or health care providers, nurses are critical to improving the health of families, which is even more important now during the COVID-19 pandemic.
For more than 80 years, March of Dimes has empowered families with information, programs and tools to get the best possible start. By joining us to honor the outstanding health professionals at the Nurse of the Year awards, you’re helping March of Dimes continue to make a tremendous impact on the lives of moms and babies everywhere.
Thank you for recognizing our outstanding nurses!
