Congratulations to Kelly Grink, RN, from the Tele/MedSurg Unit for being awarded the inaugural Blue Violet Award for Nursing Excellence at SMC.
Grink was presented with a certificate and flowers at a special event for National Nurses Day on May 6, 2021.
The Blue Violet Award is presented to a nurse who continuously exemplifies compassion and professionalism. The nurse will be someone who consistently goes above and beyond.
To be eligible, nurses must be current with all education needs and licensures, and in good professional standing.
