Five area nurses were recently honored for their excellence, caring nature and dedication to the profession during a Sioux City Journal-hosted event, presented by CNOS, at the Delta Hotels by Marriott in South Sioux City.

“Nurses: The Heart of Health Care Awards, presented by CNOS,” was held in conjunction with National Nurses Week. More than 90 nursing professionals were nominated by Journal readers, and a five-person judging panel chose four honorees, with the fifth chosen by readers.

The honorees were: Charmaine Cantrell, of MercyOne Air Care and Dakota Dunes Surgical; Tisha Dumkrieger, of Holy Spirit Retirement Home; Loree Steffen, of CNOS; Nancy Treft, of Sioux City Community Schools; and Cindy Vaughn, of Burgess Health Center.
