Copper Queen seeks nursing nominations


Published/Last Modified on Wednesday, March 30, 2011 11:05 AM MDT


This May, in conjunction with the celebration of National Nurses Week, Copper Queen Community Hospital (CQCH) will recognize one special nurse with the Jane Delano Nursing Award.


“Delano’s impact on the nursing industry has had a lasting effect,” said CQCH Chief Executive Officer James Dickson, “Our nurses continue to practice her ideals to this day. Our goal with the award is to honor a nurse who displays the same enthusiasm and selflessness as Delano.”

Jane Arminda Delano began her nursing career by treating victims of yellow fever in Jacksonville, Fla., and then moved to Bisbee, where she nursed typhoid patients at the local copper mine. Delano founded the American Red Cross Nursing Service, and trained 20,000 nurses for service in World War I. Delano died in 1919, while on a Red Cross mission in France. After her death, she was awarded the Distinguished Service Medal and she was buried in Arlington Cemetery. In 1982, Jane Delano was inducted in the American Nursing Association Hall of Fame. CQCH’s Jane Delano Nursing Award will honor her many contributions to the nursing industry.

As Delano did throughout her career, the nurses at CQCH dedicate their lives to helping others. Any nurse at CQCH can be nominated for the Delano Award by members of the community or other hospital staff. The award will be given at the annual CQCH Nurses Tea on May 12, and the recipient will receive a $2,500 scholarship.
