After a 2-year pandemic-induced hiatus, we are once again hosting our Together Again gala on November 5, 2022, to raise funds that will allow us to continue our work.

Nursing Excellence Award
This year we want to celebrate our Cape Verdean nurses and identify and honor those who exemplify the very best in the profession of nursing. We want to recognize the positive difference that they have made in the lives of their colleagues, patients, families, as well as the communities in which they live. The CVNA’s Circle of Nursing Excellence is a perfect opportunity to publicly recognize a Cape Verdean nurse you love.
