VITAS Healthcare has been honored as the inaugural recipient of the prestigious Founders Spirit Award by the National Black Nurses Association (NBNA). The award recognizes VITAS for over two decades of dedicated support and innovative programming that align with the mission and vision of NBNA’s founders. VITAS was the exclusive organization selected for this honor alongside five other individual recipients.
The Founders Spirit Award is a presidential honor. Its name is meant to evoke the enduring spirit of the original founders who created NBNA more than 50 years ago against the odds and amidst great adversity. Recipients show a documented history of dedicated support and extraordinary service to NBNA, going above and beyond and offering sustained financial philanthropy and advocacy of the mission and vision of the association.
