14 Cone Health Nurses Recognized for Excellence

Nurses were peer-nominated and selected from hundreds of nominations from across the state.

 

GREENSBORO — Fourteen nurses from Cone Health have been named to the 2025 list of Great 100 Nurses in North Carolina, an annual recognition of nursing excellence across the state. These nurses were selected from hundreds of nominations for their outstanding contributions to patient care, leadership and service.

Exceptional nurses are essential to delivering high-quality health care. They serve as advocates, educators and caregivers—often at the most critical moments in someone’s life. Their clinical expertise, compassion and ability to lead directly impact how well a person does and the overall experience of care.

“These nurses represent the very best of our profession,” said Vi-Anne Antrum, Cone Health Chief Nursing Officer. “Being nominated by their peers speaks volumes about the respect they’ve earned. Their leadership and dedication set a powerful example for all nurses across Cone Health.”  

The Cone Health nurses named to the 2025 Great 100 list are: 

  • Benjamin Bhunu – The Moses H. Cone Memorial Hospital

The Great 100 Nurses of North Carolina is a nonprofit organization honoring registered nurses who demonstrate excellence in practice and leadership. Nurses are nominated by their peers and selected for their commitment to improving health care and enhancing the well-being of their communities.

The 2025 honorees will be celebrated at the 37th Annual Great 100 Gala on Oct. 11 at the Maxwell Center in Goldsboro, North Carolina.
