The remarkable efforts of nurses in St. Louis often go unnoticed. They consistently exhibit selfless care, compassion, and service. To honor these dedicated nurses, St. Louis Magazine is hosting its 17th annual Excellence in Nursing Awards

Whether it be a nurse from a private practice, hospital system, or school, or a nurse who specializes in home care, pediatrics, surgery, or education, help recognize our region’s health care heroes by submitting a nomination for the 2026 Excellence in Nursing Awards. Each of the nominations will be reviewed by a distinguished selection committee.

The finalists will be announced in February 2026. Winners will be announced at an event in June and featured in the June/July issue of St. Louis Magazine. Visit stlmag.com/nurses to learn about nomination rules and guidelines. If you have questions about the awards, please email Jarrett Medlin at jmedlin@stlmag.com. 

Deadline Extended to November 19, 2025
