Katie Alms, an RN at Sanford Tracy Medical Center, received the Structural Empowerment Nurse Award earlier this month at a Sanford Health nursing recognition event held in Sioux Falls.

The Structural Empowerment Nurse Award recognizes nurses for outstanding nursing professional practice in providing the highest quality care to those served by Sanford Health and in illustrating the alignment and integration of the mission, vision, values and philosophy adopted by the nursing profession and Sanford Health.

She was recognized for her wealth of knowledge and passion she has for her profession. She coordinates nursing outpatient schedules and treatments which is an asset for patients and employees in Tracy.

The nurses week celebration is an annual event for Sanford Health. This year’s event, held at the Washington Pavilion in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, honored nurses and other health care professionals in nine categories. Nearly 320 nominations were submitted for 2021 honors.
