We are thrilled to share the success of year 2 of the Off the Chart: Rewarding Nursing Greatness campaign!
This year, Cedars-Sinai joined City of Hope, Keck Medicine of USC, and UCLA Health in partnering with Off the Chart to identify and reward with a no-strings-attached monetary gift 40 nurses — 10 from each health system — who exemplify the Off the Chart attributes of a bias towards action, capacity for self-direction, originality and creative instincts, courageous and bold thinking, and the potential to achieve even more.
On May 28, 2024 the Foundation hosted 150 guests at the Luxe Sunset Boulevard Hotel, including the Off the Chart nurse recipients, health system executives, and community leaders.
The evening featured remarks by Etti Rosenberg, MA, RN, NP, Head of Innovation & Development in Nursing at Clalit Health Services in Israel about “The Nurse Innovator’s Journey to Solutions-Driven Practice.”
Nurse economist Shawna Butler, RN, MBA facilitated a conversation with the following Year 1 Off the Chart recipients about how Off the Chart bolstered their careers over the past year by providing visibility and connection:
- Anna Jimenez, MSN, RN, CCRN, CNML
- Lisa Johnson, DNP, RN, CENP, CPHQ
- Iris Mayoral, PMHNP, RN, PHN, GERO-BC
- Hung Wang, BSN, RN, PHN, GERO-BC

When we created the Off the Chart campaign, our instincts and experience told us that nurses were not receiving the massive investments needed to stem the alarming tide of nurse departures and address the resulting shortage of nursing care that makes us all less safe. This was confirmed by a recent report from the American Nurses Foundation, which found that only one penny of every dollar of healthcare philanthropy is directed to the nursing profession.
This stunning finding, and our reflections on the impact of Off the Chart, have only strengthened our resolve to invest in nurses and nursing. In the coming year, we look forward to sharing our playbook with other philanthropists, and to discussing the extension of Off the Chart beyond a 3-year-campaign.
Please stay tuned for more Off the Chart news in the coming months, and feel free to reach out if you want to know more!
