Annual Report

Our 2023 Annual Nursing Services Report, Cultivating Nursing Excellence, was inspired by the theme for our 2023 Nurses Month, "Cultivating Kindness." Kindness is just one of many qualities essential for a Boone Health nurse. Every day at Boone, we cultivate every aspect of nursing excellence including patient-centered care, clinical quality, professional development, lifelong learning,  evidence-based practice, nursing research, and guidance and education for the next generation of nurses.

This year's cover features an illustration inspired by the Cultivating Kindness trees we created for the main entrance of Boone Hospital Center during Nurses Month. We encouraged patients, visitors, providers, and staff members to leave kind messages for our nursing rock stars and their partners in caring. Our cover art includes just some of the many words our patients and their families have used to describe Boone nurses in 2023.

From multiple nurse-driven initiatives to improve upon our high standards of patient care to our successful new program to introduce mid-Missouri high school students to healthcare careers, this year's annual report is worth exploring.
