The March of Dimes is accepting nominations for 2022 Heroes in Action (formerly known as the Nurse of the Year awards). Nominations can be made online until July 24. Winners will be announced at the Heroes in Action awards breakfast Friday, Nov. 4 at the Seattle Convention Center (formerly the Washington State Convention Center). The nominees will also need to fill out an application form to be eligible.

The Heroes in Action award recognizes nurses and maternal and infant health providers for their leadership, care and compassion. The 2022 awards mark 20 years of paying tribute to the nursing and maternal and infant health community. WSHA is a proud sponsor of the Heroes in Action awards.

March of Dimes will recognize nurses and care providers in 14 categories of care:

  • Acute Care

There is no fee to submit a nomination, and individuals may submit as many nominations as they like. Once the nomination has been submitted, the nominee will be notified and asked to submit an application as well. The complete nominee application must be submitted to be considered, and scoring will be based on both the nomination and the application.

More event details are available online, including ticket purchasing information, instructions on how to make a tribute gift and more information about each category. For questions, please contact Kristen Miller at kmiller@marchofdimes.org or 206-496-8645.
