ArchWell Health RN Care Manager, Dana Kirksey has been named one of St. Louis Magazine's 2024 Excellence in Nursing award winners. For 15 years, the Excellence in Nursing award has recognized nurses in St. Louis hospitals, schools, primary care practices and more for their "selfless care, compassion and service.” 

Kirksey was recognized in the Acute Care/General Medicine/Family Practice category for 2024. At ArchWell Health, she leads her care team with intelligence and empathy, providing superior primary care to older adults every day. 

“This job is not stressful for me. It’s really rewarding," said Kirksey on her work at ArchWell Health. "It’s fast-paced. We’re pretty busy here from the time we opened, and I’ve added more staff as we’ve added more patients." She joined the ArchWell Health care team when the company opened its four locations in the St. Louis area in 2022. Kirksey is enthusiastic about her role in the community, "I love working for ArchWell Health. I'm very proud to say I'm the "first nurse" on meetings."
