The March of Dimes and presenting partners Health Net and Abrazo Health Care will roll out the red carpet for the second annual "Arizona Nurses of the Year Awards Gala," on Saturday, November 12 at the Scottsdale Hilton. This elegant evening affair will recognize outstanding nurses throughout Arizona, champion the profession of nursing, support future nurses through scholarships to accredited Arizona colleges and universities, and support the mission of the March of Dimes.
