Children’s Minnesota nurse receives Lifetime Achievement Award

Children’s Minnesota is proud to announce that Martha Dugan, APRN, CNP, has been honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award as part of the 2019 Mpls.St.Paul Magazine “Outstanding Nurses” Awards. This year marks the eighth year of the Outstanding Nurses Awards, which honors nurses impacting their communities.

The Lifetime Achievement Award is given to an outstanding nurse with 25 years or more since board certification.

Nominations were assessed on an eight-point rubric that included: professionalism, interaction with patients and families, credentials and experience, initiative and commitment, impact on an organization, leadership, and an “it” factor exemplifying kindness, compassion, and empathy. Additional weight was given to those who received multiple nominations and to those nominated by their patients or their patients’ families.

Winners were announced at a special awards ceremony on the evening of August 8, 2019, at the Edina Country Club.

Please join us in congratulating our remarkable winner! Read more about the winners here.
