"One of the aspects I most cherish about working at Cone Health as a registered nurse is the strong connection I feel to my community. I don’t just work here; I live here," says Becky, a Registered Nurse who works at Moses Cone Memorial Hospital. "I am an integral part of the community I live in through the work that I do, providing care to my neighbors and friends when they need it most. When people are in the hospital, it’s often one of the most stressful and challenging times in their lives. Being able to offer them comfort and care during such moments is something I hold close to my heart."
Fifteen Cone Health nurses have been included among the Great 100 Nurses of North Carolina by The North Carolina Great 100, Inc. The 15 were recognized for their professional abilities and contributions to improving the health of their communities. “Nurses are at the forefront of delivering compassionate care and are pivotal in shaping the health and well-being of our communities,” states Vi-Anne Antrum, DNP, RN, chief nursing officer at Cone Health. “The recognition of these 15 nurses is a reflection of our commitment to nursing excellence and the high standards of patient care at Cone Health.” Nurses are nominated by their peers. Recipients are selected to the Great 100 list based on evidence of superior practice, dedication to patients and the discipline of nursing, and their community involvement. These are the honored Cone Health nurses and where they work. Those with a “Cone Health” designation work across the system and not at an individual hospital.

We recognize that, when we have a true place of belonging where everyone can thrive, we are best positioned to provide exceptional care for our patients and communities,” said Michelle Adamolekun, executive vice president and chief people and culture officer at Cone Health. America’s Best Employers for Women were identified through an independent survey from a sample of over 150,000 women working for companies employing at least 1,000 people within the U.S. from all industry sectors.
Cone Health and Risant Health have signed a definitive agreement under which Cone Health will become part of Risant Health, pending regulatory approvals. Risant Health is a nonprofit, charitable organization created by Kaiser Foundation Hospitals to bring together like-minded organizations, increase access to value-based care and coverage, and raise the bar for approaches that bring the best health outcomes. “Becoming part of Risant Health presents a unique opportunity to shape the future of health care in the Triad, the state, and across the nation,” said Cone Health president and CEO, Dr. Mary Jo Cagle. “As part of Risant Health, Cone Health will build upon its long track record of success making evidence-based health care more accessible and affordable for more people. The people across the Triad will be among the first to benefit,” she said. Cone Health will maintain its brand, name and mission, and maintain its own board, CEO and leadership team. It will continue to work with health plans, provider organizations and independent physicians. “Cone Health customers will see the same doctors, the same nurses and the same staff in the same locations they do today. We do not anticipate changes in the types of care we provide as a result of becoming part of Risant Health,” said Dr. Cagle. Cone Health, like other health systems that become part of Risant Health, will operate independently as a regional and community-based health system.
“For me, one of the best things about being a Cone Health nurse is the opportunity to form relationships with my patients and colleagues while growing professionally. Cone Health values the personal connection with all people--both patients and colleagues.” - Dana, BSN, RN, PCCN #RightHereWithYou
