On Thursday, May 9, 2024, nurses from TidalHealth Nanticoke attended Delaware Today's Excellence in Nursing banquet in Newark, Del. The Excellence in Nursing awards recognize the state’s top nurses who will be featured in Delaware Today‘s May 2024 issue.
Three nurses from TidalHealth Nanticoke were listed among this year's Excellence in Nursing honorees. Additionally, Dr. Aaron Sebach, TidalHealth Hospitalist and Community Wellness/SWIFT Nurse Practitioner, was honored for his work with Wilmington University.
