Congratulations, Stefanie! 👏✨

Fifteen Johns Hopkins nurses have been recognized as 2026 Excellence in Nursing Award recipients by Baltimore magazine. Among them is our very own Stefanie Widner, R.N., who is recognized under the Community Care/Ambulatory Care category. Stefanie is an R.N. at our Germantown practice.

"I am proud of being an ambulatory nurse because it has led to many long-term relationships with patients. I am able to provide compassionate and empathetic care throughout their entire health journey. I have become the person they seek for comfort and help during difficult times, and this has been the most rewarding part of my 20-plus year career.” 🌿

"I chose a career in nursing because I wanted to make an impact on improving the healthcare experience for patients. I didn’t realize our patients would impact me just as much. After ten years as an R.N., serving our community continues to be one of my greatest honors." 🩺
