Nancy Vance Award
The Virginia Nurses Association’s highest award is the Nancy Vance Award. Created in 1948, the award is meant to inspire nurses to the same selfless service that Miss Vance practiced so successfully throughout her life. As a leader in nursing in Virginia during the early twentieth century, Miss Vance created the five point program for health for Virginia school children. Her leadership resulted in improved health for thousands of Virginia’s children. Her personal commitments were to maternal child health and to improving the care of people with cancer. The award, the five point star is a constant reminder of nursing excellence.
