American Nurses Enterprise Celebration Dinner

On October 7, 2025, the American Nurses Enterprise (ANE) is set to celebrate its inaugural Celebration Dinner at The Ritz-Carlton Atlanta. This much-anticipated event will bring together over 230 guests, including prominent funding partners, corporate executives, and leaders from health systems across the nation. The gathering aims to honor philanthropic efforts and partnerships that support nurses and enhance healthcare practices.

The evening will be particularly special as it acknowledges the substantial impact of the American Nurses Foundation (ANF), which has invested $52.6 million across 136 grants, positively influencing the lives of more than 3 million nurses throughout the U.S. over the past five years. The event underscores the significance of community connections and the measurable effects of nursing contributions to health and wellness.

Honorees of the Night

This year’s program will pay tribute to three remarkable national honorees:

• - Community Impact Honoree: The National CARES Mentoring Movement has been recognized for its remarkable affiliate network that facilitates healing and workforce development for underserved youth across 58 communities in the U.S.
• - Foundation Impact Honoree: The United Health Foundation will be celebrated for its extensive history of partnership with ANF, highlighted by a $3.1 million investment aimed at supporting nurse well-being and funding responses to the COVID-19 crisis. Established in 1999 by the UnitedHealth Group, this foundation is dedicated to enhancing health and healthcare nationwide.
• - Corporate Impact Honoree: Kaiser Permanente has been recognized for its innovative collaboration with ANF on the Reimagining Nursing Initiative, the largest initiative in its history, featuring 44 nurse-led pilot programs across 41 states that aim to improve healthcare delivery.
