Nurses are often the first to comfort a patient, the steady voice during difficult moments, and the one who helps individuals and families navigate their health journeys. To celebrate the extraordinary impact nurses make every day, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Arizona (AZ Blue) is now accepting nominations for its third annual Nurses Who Inspire contest.&nbsp;

<div class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW165642777 BCX0" style="color: #000000; background-color: #ffffff; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
The contest invites Arizonans to nominate a nurse who has gone above and beyond to care for patients, support coworkers, strengthen communities, and inspire health across the state. Self-nominations are also welcome.&nbsp;

"Nurses are at the heart of healthcare," said Dr. Cara Christ, Chief Medical Officer at AZ Blue. "Every day, they show compassion, expertise and dedication while helping people through some of life's most important moments. This contest is an opportunity to recognize and celebrate the nurses whose commitment continues to make a meaningful difference in the lives of Arizonans."&nbsp;
