Cameos of Caring® award recipients are recognized as role models within their facility and beyond. Each facility selects their 2023 award recipient. Individuals recognized within the specialty categories (Advanced Practice, Case Manager, Donate Life, Quality & Safety, Research & Scholarship) are nominated by their facility, then designated committees select a limited number of award recipients for these areas.
