The Board of Visitors of the Capstone College of Nursing established the Alabama Nursing Hall of Fame on March 16, 2001. The Hall of Fame was created to pay tribute to nurses and others who through their work and accomplishments have brought honor and fame to the profession of nursing and the State of Alabama.
The Hall of Fame is governed by the Alabama Nursing Hall of Fame Board comprised of members of our Board of Visitors. This body establishes the criteria for selecting inductees and the methods for determining eligibility for and election to the Hall of Fame. Nominations for induction into the Hall of Fame are submitted to a Selection Committee of the Alabama Nursing Hall of Fame Board.
The first class of inductees in the Alabama Nursing Hall of Fame was honored on October 25, 2001. Induction ceremonies continue to be held biannually.
We are extremely proud of each class of inductees in the Alabama Nursing Hall of Fame. Individually and collectively they have greatly influenced the profession of nursing and health care in the State of Alabama and the nation. To honor them is to honor the most noble of professions, Nursing.
