Every year, InStyle magazine recognizes change makers and groundbreaking women in an annual list. Over the years, the list has included people like Serena Williams, Nancy Pelosi, Janelle Monáe and many others.

But this year, the list looks a little different. In its August issue, InStyle recognized health care workers across the country “who are saving the day,” including a nurse here in Georgia.

“From Alabama to Wyoming and everywhere in between, InStyle spoke to 50 health-care professionals across the country about not only what they’ve done in these extraordinary times, but who they are as women, shining a light on the people behind the PPE,” according to the magazine.

Santana Sims, an Atlanta-based registered nurse, was included on the list of 50 female front-line workers who have been combating the coronavirus.

Sims co-founded the nonprofit Nurses Support 911 to create mentorships and events to care for health care workers.

“No matter what type of day I've had, no matter what type of patients I've had to take care of, no matter how tired I am or how bad my feet hurt, the next day I'm going to come back to give my all and save lives,” Sims told InStyle.
