MINOT, N.D. – Area nurses have continued to be on the frontlines of the COVID-19 pandemic, from leading mass testing and vaccine clinics to caring for people in isolation.

The Bismarck Tribune for the third year partnered with local hospitals, nursing schools and businesses to recognize nurses in Bismarck, Mandan and the surrounding area who go above and beyond to deliver compassionate care.

CHI St. Alexius Health and Sanford Health are the presenting sponsors of “Nurses: The Heart of Health Care,” which honors nurses who have made a significant impact in their community and on their patients.
