The Colorado Nurses Foundation is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization dedicated to improving health care and nursing practice in Colorado. CNF began October 3, 1987, as the Nursing Institute of Colorado. Although the name has changed, the mission of the organization has remained essentially the same. We encourage nurses, other health care providers, and consumers to join us to work together for quality health care. CNF is devoted to creating nursing excellence through the promotion of educational and scientific activities and community- based projects. In keeping with the Foundation’s mission, the Nightingale Luminary Event is focused on recognition of nurses who have demonstrated outcomes that improve patient care and the environment in which healthcare is delivered. In recognition of the complexity of that environment, the Luminaries honored tonight represent the necessary diversity in nursing practice that is required to achieve quality care. These Luminaries were selected from around the state by regional AHECs and local committees. Community celebrations were held honoring all nominees. The Luminaries represent two categories of nursing practice, each evaluated on three professional aspects of nursing practice:

Administration, Education, Research and Non-Traditional Practice Roles Advocacy, Leadership, Innovation Clinical Practice/ Direct Patient Care Advocacy, Leadership, Innovation

Each of the Luminaries is a potential recipient of the prestigious Nightingale Award. The Nightingale Luminary theme of “Excellence in Nursing Profession- al Engagement & Citizenship” reflects the CNF Strategic Initiative to reframe the profession of nursing and the professional engagement of nurses. It is our hope that this new approach will allow for expanded recognition of nursing excellence in Colorado. Tonight’s Mistress of Ceremonies Karen Tomky, FNP

Tonight’s Mistress of Ceremonies is Karen Tomky, FNP. Karen was awarded the Florence Nightingale Award for Excellence in Nursing in 2001. She also has served on the Board of Directors for the Southeast Area AHEC for many years. Karen graduated Valedictorian from Crowley County High School in Ordway, Colorado in 1971. She went on to graduate Magna Cum Laude from the University of Northern Colorado School of Nursing with a BSN in 1975. She pursued her Masters Degree as a Family Nurse Practitioner from the University of Utah and graduated in August 1981. At the time there were only 5 colleges in the nation that had Masters preparations for FNPs. While in Salt Lake City she was Vice President of the Utah Nurses Association and was very active in passing Legislation for pre- scribing privileges for Nurse Practitioners. She also received the Outstanding Clinical Nurse in Utah in 1985. In 1987 she was recruited by Dr. Berg, Family Physician in Ordway Colorado, to join in her Rural Family Practice. It was a big decision for Karen and her husband, Matt Heimerich, to move back to the farming community where she grew up. However Dr. Berg convinced her that “she would be replaced as an FNP in Salt Lake City, but she would make a huge difference in the lives of so many people in the rural underserved county in southeastern Colorado.” In 2003 Dr. Berg retired and Karen bought her Rural Health Clinic and became one of the first Family Nurse Practitioners to own a practice in Colorado. That brought a whole lot of challenges to get insurance companies to pay FNPs directly for their services and issues with the medical community. Karen has been active in the Colorado Nurses Association’s challenges to advance the autonomous practice and prescription privileges for Advanced Practice Nurses. She was appointed by Gov. Ritter to the Collaborative Scope of Practice for Advanced Practice Nurses in 2007 and to the 208 Health Care Task Force for Provider in 2008. She also is an advocate for rural health care and served as a Board Member for Colorado Rural Health Center. One of her enjoyments and challenges has been precepting many Advanced Practice Nursing students and exposing them to rural health care. She has been a preceptor for many of the Bachelor’s and Master’s programs in Colorado and online programs. Finally, Karen has been involved in many of the rural health needs of Crowley County, including Emergency Medical Services, elected County Coroner, Public Health and Board of Directors of Nursing Home to name a few. 2019 Nightingale Elisabeth Abel Rebecca Neville Garber St. Mary’s Medical Center/SCL Health Banner Health North Colorado Medical uminariesCenter Carolyn Ackerman Regis University L Amanda Gilliland Velda Baker Vista Mesa Assisted Living Penrose - St. Francis Health Services/ Sharon Halla Centura Health Penrose Cancer Center, Penrose - Alexis Barrere St. Francis Health Services/Centura Health Sheridan Health Services/ University of Jena Humer Colorado College of Nursing Porter Adventist Hospital/Centura Health Stephanie Boyd Ingrid Johnson UCHealth Colorado Center for Nursing Excellence Kathy A.

She will forever be remembered for her assiduousness in improving hospital sanitary conditions and her compassionate care of the patients whom she treated. Known as the “lady with the lamp,” she was the quintessential bedside clinical nurse. However, Nightingale’s sustaining contributions went beyond the bedside. Her insightful understanding of the need to improve patient care inspired Florence to create a new level of nursing education. Because it was her aspiration to elevate nursing to the position of a profession, Nightingale developed curriculums modeled on current scientific thought. Florence Nightingale also spearheaded the movement to standardize the approach of gathering institutional statistics, which identified improved methods of care. Through her leadership, monumental changes in healthcare occurred in the 19th century. Florence Nightingale is an inspiration for all nurses. Her compassion at the bedside, innate gift of caring, commitment to nursing excellence, tenacity to standardize practice, and her influence to change health care policy exemplify the magnitude of her contributions to the profession of nursing. The Nightingale Award honors outstanding Colorado Registered Nurses who continue the tradition of excellence in nursing professional engagement and citizenship. Caring and service are integrated into their lives. They have a professional commitment that is reflected through their clinical expertise, leadership, and community service, which promote growth of the profession and influence healthcare policy. These nurses are the motivators and visionaries whose actions redefine the contributions of the profession of nursing. 2019 Nightingale A total of 255 nominations were submitted between Oct. 8, 2018, and Jan. 15, 2019, to the Colorado Nurses Foundation.

Thank you to all of Colorado’s Nightingale-nominated nurses. On behalf of your communities, your co-workers and your employers, we pay tribute to your persistence and your effort in caring for patients and for each day elevating the nursing profession!
