About White Coats

& Cocktails

Founded by Stacey Santiago in 2017, White Coats and Cocktails is an exclusive happy hour event designed to celebrate and honor the nursing profession. In a time when nurses typically go from working long hours straight home, with little to no real social interactions or downtime built into their work week, this unique gathering provides nurses and medical professionals with a sophisticated and enjoyable atmosphere to unwind, connect, and build relationships with like-minded individuals.

Since its inception, White Coats and Cocktails has toured major cities including Miami, DC, and NYC, with more exciting locations to come. Each event is meticulously curated to offer a luxurious experience, complete with exquisite cocktails, gourmet hors d’oeuvres, and a chic ambiance that toasts to the healers with unmatched vibes.

Join us as we celebrate the dedication, excellence, and hard work of our incredible nursing community. White Coats and Cocktails is more than just an event; it’s a celebration of the noble profession of nursing and a chance to connect, relax, and enjoy an evening in style.
