On May 4, Kelsey Halbert, RN, stroke nurse navigator, and Gordon Pace, MD, internal medicine resident, became the first recipients of Yale New Haven Hospital’s new Resident + Nurse Collaboration Awards.

The monthly awards recognize nurses and physicians-in-training who demonstrate teamwork and exemplify the collaborative spirit critical to patient care. Justine Cormier, MD, neurology resident, nominated Halbert; Jenna Glorioso, RN, Medical Intensive Care Unit (Verdi 3 North and West), nominated Pace.

Nurses may nominate a resident or fellow for the award, and vice versa. An online nomination form is available under the “tools” tab in Epic. Nominators must complete a short statement about how the nominee meets award criteria. Nominations are due by the first of each month.
