Carol Conroy

BENNINGTON, Vt. — Southwestern Vermont Medical Center's Chief Nursing Officer Carol Conroy accepted the 2016 Nursing Excellence in Administration Award from the University of Vermont's Kappa Tau Chapter of Sigma Theta Tau International Honor Society of Nursing.

"This is a tremendous honor for me," Conroy said. "Sigma Theta Tau's work to encourage scholarship in the nursing profession is closely aligned with Southwestern Vermont Medical Center's approach to nursing excellence and one of the primary reasons for SVMC's having been named a Magnet Center for Nursing Excellence for four consecutive times."

Nominees for the award possess clinical expertise and scholarship in an area of nursing leadership, advance the scope of nursing practice, develop creative nursing approaches that contribute to quality care, participate in the development of clinical nursing leaders, interact collegially with both nursing and non-nursing practitioners, and participate in community affairs.

The mission of the Honor Society of Nursing, Sigma Theta Tau International is to support the learning, knowledge, and professional development of nurses committed to make a difference in health worldwide. Membership is by invitation to baccalaureate and graduate nursing students who demonstrate excellence in scholarship, and to nurse leaders exhibiting exceptional achievements in nursing.
