At St. Louis Children’s Hospital, Wolf focuses on the future—in more ways than one. “My job is to have a vision and strategic plan of where we want to go,” she says. At the same time, she draws on more than three decades of experience. In 1993, she became one of the hospital’s first 12 nurse practitioners in the NICU. She worked her way up to manager of neonatal nurse practitioners; then, three years ago, she became director of newborn intensive care services. “To me, teamwork is critical,” she says. ON THE JOB’S REWARDS:
“I’m constantly amazed at how resilient our families are. I see some of the challenges they go through every day, yet they come in with a smile and thank us. They're my inspiration.”
