The Nightingale Awards for Excellence in Nursing program was originally developed by the Visiting Nurse Association of South Central Conn. to be a collaborative effort to celebrate outstanding nurses and elevate the nursing profession.

The goals of the program are to encourage retention, inspire future nurses, focus public attention and recognize the breadth and scope of nursing practice at the local level.

In 2003, two years after inception, the program grew to include galas in New London, Fairfield County and Hartford, as well as the original program in New Haven.
