Message from the Dean Dear friends,

This year has been an inspiring and far-reaching year for the college, our faculty and staff, and most importantly–our students. We’ve captured the inspirational stories of the people and teams who have been doing great things to advance health and wellbeing, and we look forward to sharing those stories with you in our newest issue of Innovations. Our students are leading the way to better health outcomes through evidence-based research and practice, innovation and entrepreneurship, teamwork and stakeholder engagement, and a focus on solutions – locally and globally.

As health professionals, we know that the research we do and solutions we devise can have an impact that extends far beyond our local community. ASU is an institution that encourages us all to reach beyond borders. We’re eager to share the stories of our students who are working and studying abroad to make a difference in health. You’ll read about Jeremy Stutzman’s impact on the military health care system from his post in Japan (pg. 16), Danielle Wofford’s work with Syrian refugees in displacement zones (pg. 18), and Autumn Argent’s work to improve maternal child nutrition in Kenya (pg. 24). I’m especially proud to announce that our Center for World Health has been designated as a World Health Organization Collaborating Centre to Advance the Policy on Research for Health. This is the first WHO Collaborating Centre in Arizona and one of only two in the Southwestern U.S. Congratulations to David Coon, PhD and Carol Baldwin, PhD, RN, AHNBC, FAAN in partnership with the PAHO/WHO and ASU colleagues including James Hodge, Rick Rodriguez, Kevin Pardon, Karen Saewert, and Francisco Lara, who have spent the past seven years laying the groundwork for this exciting accomplishment. Through innovation, we respond to a changing health care landscape by preparing students to become forward-looking health professionals who will lead change and implement solutions. Our innovation students show us there are no boundaries to creativity! Stephen Gamboa’s journey from music to public health to entrepreneur highlights his dedication to supporting people living with HIV/AIDS (pg. 4). Our new Healthcare Innovation certificate program gave senior executive David Decker an opportunity to gain new knowledge as he transitioned to the health care industry after two decades in financial services (pg. 11). Working and learning across professions– interprofessionalism–is a model of research, education and practice that is quickly becoming embedded across our curriculum, especially in our work with underserved

communities. You’ll read about Charlotte Thrall as she shares the journey that led her to HopeFest (pg. 14), our S.H.O.W clinic as students from a variety of different disciplines serve our most vulnerable community members (pg. 13), and National Health Services scholar, Melissa Morrison, as she completed her DNP program with a goal of practicing at a patient centered medical home (pg. 26). Partnerships to advance health allow us to extend the impact of our efforts, while sharing resources and modeling the way for our students. We’re proud to be part of the new WORLDInstitute, an academic-practice consortium dedicated to evidence-based approaches to leadership in health care (pg. 6). Michelle Davis, DNP alum and recipient of AACN’s Excellence in Advancing Nursing Practice Award, leveraged a partnership with her hospital in order to implement an evidence-based practice initiative to benefit newborns (pg. 12). And our partnership with Eastern Arizona College’s nursing program is a wonderful example of ASU’s dedication to Arizona’s rural communities (pg. 22). Before I close, I want to share my gratitude for five of our nursing faculty who retired this past semester. Though our good-bye celebrations have come and gone, I wanted to take another opportunity to share that Ruth Brooks, Patricia Harris, Kay Jarrell, Shirley Kleinlein, and Nelma Shearer will be missed greatly. Their dedication to their students, the college, the nursing industry, and the health of our communities has helped shape the future of nursing. I wish you the best today and throughout the year.

In Memoriam

fulfilling life may be considered that of someone who pursues an education, serves their country and goes on to profoundly influence an entire profession. Or perhaps it is the life of someone who is a friend to all, leaving an indelible impact on Bernita “B” Steffl the lives of those they serve, care for, and teach. If these scenarios ring true, then Bernita “B” Steffl was the epitome of living life to the fullest. Born in 1920, Bernita “B” Margaret Steffl made her way into nursing as a student at Ancker Hospital School of Nursing in St. Cloud, Minnesota. After graduating with her RN degree, B did what many nurses decided to do during that era and enlisted in the Army Nurse Corps, eventually joining the war effort overseas. Friend and former colleague LoAnn Bell remembers how B would share stories of her Army experience and world travels. “She was a traveler of the world, but her most favorite trip was her annual family reunion in Iowa.” After spending time in Iran and Italy caring for German POW soldiers, B returned to the United States and continued her education, earning both a bachelor’s and master’s in public health. In 1959, B embarked upon what would end up being a legendary career at Arizona State University’s College of Nursing.

e are saddened to share the news of Julie McNulty’s passing. Julie ended her 18-month battle with cancer on March 30th, peacefully surrounded by family and friends. Julie’s dedication to caring for others was never more evident than in her decision to join the Julie McNulty College of Nursing & Health Innovation faculty last year as an assistant professor of research, and focus on improving health and wellness for cancer patients and survivors–even as she quietly fought her own battle. Many had the privilege of working with Julie either during her postdoc studies or as a treasured colleague. Her positive energy and gentle spirit were inspirational. Julie graduated from the University of New Hampshire in 1980 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing. After working in Boston, Massachusetts for three years, she moved

Among many notable accomplishments, B was widely known as a pioneer in the field of gerontology, promoting it as a nursing specialty and writing the first-of-its-kind Handbook on Gerontological Nursing, a highly-regarded resource for universities across the nation. An esteemed leader in her field, B received the Governor’s Certificate of Merit for Service for her life’s work. Nearly twenty years after her retirement, B was honored in 2007 with the Bernita Steffl Professorship in Geriatric Nursing. While B’s professional achievements and contributions to nursing were undoubtedly significant, it was her kind and gentle spirit that friends and colleagues will miss dearly. Former faculty member Liz Holman Brooks recalls paying B a visit at her home in Friendship Village. “B was very proud of her military career and would share photographs that depicted stages of her life. She was always interested in the lives of others and was always complimentary.” Nurse, world traveler, teacher, and cherished friend. B embraced all that life had to offer and strived each day to ensure those around her did the same. “She had an energy and enthusiasm for life,” remembers Bell. “She was a friend to everyone she met and the world was her family.” Bernita “B” Steffl passed away peacefully at Friendship Village in Tempe, AZ on May 28, 2016. Donations in B’s memory may be made to the B Steffl Professorship in Geriatric Nursing at ASU.

to Alaska where she worked as a nurse for more than 30 years, most of that time at the Alaska Native Medical Center. In 2002, she graduated from the University of Alaska Anchorage with a Master of Science degree in Nursing and Health Care Administration. In 2013 she graduated from Oregon Health and Science University with a Doctorate of Philosophy in Nursing Science. Julie’s primary area of research at ASU was supportive and holistic care for cancer patients and cancer survivorship. Her vision to improve the quality of life for those affected by cancer led to her involvement with several concurrent research collaborations. Her goal to develop interventions to improve quality of life for Latino cancer survivors was funded by the Oncology Nursing Society Foundation. She had embarked on a comprehensive needs assessment of the supportive care needs of patients receiving cancer treatment at Mayo Clinic, and was working toward implementing a psychoeducational support intervention as a control group for an interventional study being conducted by Dr. Linda Larkey.

Entrepreneurial Spirit Motivates

MHI Alumnus to Advance Innovative HIV Test Idea

hen Stephen Gamboa taught himself to play the recorder in the first grade, he earned a spot as the youngest student in the school’s recorder ensemble. Shifting his attention to percussion instruments, his childhood and most of his teen years were filled with lessons, practice sessions, and involvement in every possible ensemble. So it made perfect sense that he would go on to earn his bachelor’s degree in music. But halfway through the program, he began to think more deeply about his career path and the many ways that he could make a difference in world. “I always had a strong interest in civic engagement as well as science,” he said. “I decided that the health field, specifically public health, was something that interested me.” While he continued as a music major and stayed active on campus in the arts and student government, he started taking the required pre-med courses, and studied with the Mayo Clinic as a pre-med scholar. There he engaged in labs and lectures, and shadowed physicians and nurses in their clinical environments. He also sought out international public health opportunities between semesters, and funded his travels through an Indiegogo campaign. “I traveled to Honduras and volunteered in the state hospital there and learned an immense amount about their health system and how many health disparities existed,” he said. “They have a rampant HIV epidemic.” In public health, especially with vulnerable and marginalized communities, Gamboa had found a career path in need of his

entrepreneurial spirit. As a summer public health scholar at Columbia University, he studied health disparities, public health and epidemiology, and had an opportunity to prepare HIV prevention materials for local health care agencies. His experience showed him that, while the field of public health is good at identifying and understanding population health problems, he wanted more. “I wanted to be a person who can generate a solution to a health care problem,” he said. That’s when he enrolled in ASU’s Master of Healthcare Innovation (MHI) program, an online interdisciplinary graduate program that prepares students to lead transformation in health care with an emphasis on entrepreneurship, technology, innovation, and policy-making. Innovation is clearly Gamboa’s comfort zone, but it’s not always easy for business, he learned, even the business of health care. “It’s hard for organizations to commit to innovation because they’ll need to change,” he said. “But we can slowly integrate elements of innovation that create change in our fractured health care system, and set the system up for progress and adaptability. Innovation can be a process.” Gamboa’s final project in the MHI program, HIVSmart, gave him a chance to identify critical gaps in a process, and use startup thinking to solve a health problem at scale. “HIVSmart is a product and service that provides an HIV test (mouth swab) with a corresponding smartphone application,” he said. “The HIV test plugs into a smartphone, and the user is able to view results along with HIV education, counseling, local resources, and anonymous chatting.” Gamboa found that, from a public health standpoint, something as simple as not knowing one’s HIV status is a barrier to changing the tide on HIV infection rates. If someone tests positive, he said, they can get the care they need. If their status is negative, they can make sure they stay that way. But learning one’s HIV status can be a fearful and uncomfortable process for many, he said. “The vision of HIVSmart is to provide people at risk for HIV with a way to test in the comfort of their home and to give them the necessary information so that they are well informed about their HIV status,” he said. Gamboa refined his idea through the ASU Startup Accelerator, and was invited to present at the 8th annual Clinton Global Initiative University in Miami last year.

“Presenting my project at CGI U was an incredible and inspiring opportunity,” he said. “Not only was I able to receive feedback on how to refine my own idea, but I also learned things from other student entrepreneurs.” Since graduating from the MHI program, Gamboa has raised more than $25,000 in seed funding for HIVSmart, has been preparing a patent application, and is looking into building a prototype. He’s also been busy in the policy arena. “I became interested in health care policy when I took the health policy class in the MHI program, which is what motivated me to apply for and eventually get offered the Pedro Zamora Public Policy Fellowship at AIDS United,” he said. AIDS United, a Washington, DC-based non-profit organization, provides strategic grant making, capacity building, technical assistance, and policy/advocacy for the HIV/AIDS community. “In my role, I supported the policy team in federal level advocacy and policy efforts by attending briefings on Capitol Hill about issues that affect people living with HIV/AIDS, monitoring and tracking legislation, writing for the weekly Policy Update, and writing policy briefs.”

He also attended the President’s Advisory Council meeting on HIV/AIDS with White House staff and leaders, and learned about appropriations and how to secure funding for HIV/AIDS programs. The fellowship helped him explore the federal policy world and clarified a career path that will help him bring together his ideas and contributions, past and present, once he completes his second master’s degree—this time in public health, which he began this fall at Columbia University. Music will make an appearance in Gamboa’s next chapter as well. In addition to his studies and teaching courses in the MHI program, he is set to play in the percussion section of the Columbia University Medical Center Student Orchestra, and will audition for the Columbia University Orchestra in January. “Many of the skills that are needed in health care policy and medicine, I learned from music,” he said. “Music majors spend countless hours in a practice room by themselves just trying to play to the best of their ability, and it takes tremendous patience, determination, and commitment. Those are skills that can help somebody in whatever they choose to do.”

their degree, enabling them to have a successful career in health care, yet much of what they can and cannot do professionally is regulated by a government entity. It is vital that they take an active role in shaping public policy that impacts both the practitioner and their patients.” Carter’s commitment to health and health care can be seen in her role as chairwoman of the state Legislature’s health committee, a role she has assumed as part of her service as a third-term elected Arizona state representative. She also serves as chair, co-chair or as a member of a number of different committees, studies or caucuses, many relating to health care and education in Arizona, which are priorities for Carter. “I believe that health care is a major economic engine for both our state and country,” Carter said. “CONHI is perfectly positioned to be a national and international leader in health care innovation. I believe there are incredible opportunities to work across disciplines--for example, nursing, public policy and education, to maximize ASU students’ impact in the health care and education world.”

he College of Nursing & Health Innovation welcomed Heather Carter in January as its new Assistant Dean for Health and Education Policy. Carter has a joint administrative appointment between the Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College, where she has been a clinical associate professor since 2011, and the College of Nursing & Health Innovation. As an associate professor at the Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College, Carter developed and currently teaches two online undergraduate courses designed for education majors and others looking to work in public policy. Carter’s students learn to develop and defend research-based opinions on education reform positions so that they can become knowledgeable and effective education policy advocates. “Our CONHI students at ASU are future leaders in health care,” Carter said. “It is extremely important for all students to understand the regulatory and political environment in which they work. Students spend valuable time and money to earn

Since its launch, the institute has received a $50,000 infrastructure grant from AONE, and announced its prestigious advisory board. Adams is also working with the University Technology Office at ASU to develop a first of its kind database that allows the institute to collect data from member organizations and explore questions that have never been considered. “Leadership influences better work environments, which

have been repeatedly linked to better outcomes for patients, the workforce, and organizations,” Adams said. “While we inherently know leadership influences these environments, we cannot yet prove it. We must understand and teach good leadership. It cannot be left to chance—lives literally can depend on it.” To learn more about the WORLD-Institute, visit www.world-institute.com.

CONHI dean, Teri Pipe, named Chief Well-Being Officer at ASU Originally published in ASU News

ollege students tend to focus more on learning and expanding their minds than staying healthy. Faculty and staff often worry about their classrooms and their to-do lists more than their stress levels. Arizona State University is seeking a balance between individual needs and academic and professional priorities for both students and employees. A strong GPA or a pay raise should not come at the expense of the digits on a bathroom scale or blood pressure monitor. Toward that goal, ASU has appointed Teri Pipe, dean of ASU’s College of Nursing & Health Innovation, as the university’s first chief well-being officer. Pipe will focus on creating a culture of healthfulness, personal balance, and resiliency among students and employees. “Students and employees at a university, as with all humans, operate in an outer world and an inner world, and they can only succeed by tending to both.” Pipe said. “We have a wonderful opportunity to build upon ASU’s rich legacy and develop a creative approach to wellbeing that will aid the members of our campus family now and prepare them for the future.” Pipe’s role, which was suggested by students, will include shifting the mindset among students and employees to know that they succeed with strength in all parts of their life. ASU knows that its students, faculty, and staff remain its greatest assets. “Dean Pipe will lead this initiative because of her strong commitment to wellbeing that extends beyond the absence of illness to the enhancement of the total person,” said Mark Searle, executive vice president and university provost.

“This is the goal we seek to achieve for both students and employees.” Pipe will work closely with Educational Outreach and Student Services on student-based initiatives, and will collaborate with Human Resources on efforts aimed at staff and faculty members, Searle said. Pipe, who has served as dean of the College of Nursing & Health Innovation since 2011, will assume this new role while continuing to lead the college. She will report to Searle and to Jim Rund, senior vice president for Educational Outreach and Student Services. “This was a student-led priority to appoint an institutional leader who could champion positivity, personal balance and healthfulness,” Rund said. “The students’ hope is that ASU becomes a national leader in student wellbeing.” Pipe emphasized that wellbeing is dynamic. It means something different for everyone, whether that involves eating, sleeping, exercise, social interaction, quiet stillness, or a variety of other elements in university life. “Productivity goes beyond producing term papers or research,” said Pipe, who served as director of Nursing Research and Innovation at Mayo Clinic Arizona before coming to ASU. “It includes the ability to interact with people and affect them in a positive way.” For students and employees alike, developing habits that aid wellbeing create positive patterns for the rest of their lives. “We expect our students to become leaders,” Pipe said. “Wellbeing and resilience are key competencies to being better employees, better leaders, and better people in society.”

DNP Grad Merges Science and Art to Promote Fitness

rene Brown learned from her father at a young age “if something’s broken, you fix it yourself.” Growing up in rural Canada, Brown drove a tractor, changed tires, and took woodworking, metal shop, and auto mechanics in high school. That do-it-yourself attitude has taken Brown from the family farm to Arizona State University where she graduated in May with a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree. But Brown tends to minimize her accomplishments. “If you work hard enough, you can get anything you want,” she said. While going to nursing school in Canada, Brown helped finance her education using the skills she learned at her father’s knee and during high school. She worked multiple jobs, including a job as a welder on a construction site and a laborer operating heavy equipment. Brown entered the nursing profession with the intention of becoming an ER/trauma nurse, starting her career in western Canada’s busiest emergency room and later working in a 10-bed critical access emergency room. Along the way she met and married her husband, who serves in the United States Navy as a jet maintenance officer. In the fall of 2013, she started the DNP program. During the last year of her program, Brown needed an elective to round out her course load. “I’d reached my mental limit of nursing courses I could take voluntarily,” she said. Recalling her past welding experiences, she signed up for a metal sculpture class. While in class, Brown dabbled with various sculpture projects, sharing them with her nursing mentor, Dr. Heather Ross, who urged Brown to incorporate sculpture into her capstone project, The Impact of Fitbit Use on Blood Pressure, Walking Endurance, and Physical Activity in Overweight or Obese Hispanic Adolescents. Brown created a sculpture to reflect the project, portraying a larger sedentary individual and a thinner person who is wearing a Fitbit (a popular fitness-tracking device), taking a first step on the road to a more active and healthy lifestyle. Brown’s project, an evidenced-based practice pilot intervention, implements fitness trackers in low-income, obese Hispanic adolescents. “There is an abundance of evidence that supports the use of various technologies in helping people become more active, but this is not frequently used in practice,” she said. “Pediatric obesity is a huge issue in this country, with minority populations

being especially vulnerable.” Brown recruited 12 subjects and monitored their exercise over a 6-week period and the outcome proved that the Fitbit was effective in making people more active, especially on the days they were aware she was monitoring their activity. “There’s definitely more accountability when you know you’re being watched,” she said. But there are so many other factors to take into account, she said. “A lot of these kids don’t have physical education at school and when they come home they have to babysit younger siblings. You’re asking them to move more, but when?” Brown recently accepted a position at an internal medicine clinic in Washington, and will join her husband in the Pacific Northwest. “I think it will be a great position to start practicing, and has opportunities to branch out into different specialties if I choose to go that route,” she said. As a self-professed adrenaline junkie who thrived working in emergency care, Brown said she doesn’t mind being in primary care as long as she can balance her life with high-intensity activities like snowboarding and mountain biking. The high-intensity activities may have to wait, however -she and her husband are expecting their first baby in January. With her do-it-yourself attitude and her DNP degree in hand, Brown is prepared to tackle the ever-changing health care industry, and motivated to find new, innovative ways to deliver health care and reach more people. “It’s mind boggling how inefficient and stuck the system is. I want to invent another way,” she said. “I don’t know quite how that looks yet, but the cogs are turning.”

New Graduate Certificate Program

Gives Industry Professionals the Skills to Advance Innovation in Health Care

avid Decker knows what people want when it comes to managing their health. As the director of marketing analytics at Aetna, Decker analyzes data that represents consumers across their health insurance journeys--from those who are shopping for insurance for themselves and their families, to those who are enrolled and benefiting. Knowing what’s important to consumers is crucial to making the consumer experience an important part of the health insurance industry, which is a priority for Decker. The power of the consumer is also something he recognizes from his two decades in the financial services sector. Armed with a bachelor’s degree in industrial engineering and an MBA from Thunderbird, Decker made his mark as a senior leader in financial services where he focused on consumer insights, marketing, and analytics. But the industry began to slow down, he said, in terms of its capability for revolutionary change and innovation. It’s also the only industry, he said, that is more highly regulated than health care. That’s when he decided to transition his career to the health care sector. “The stagnating regulatory pressure in financial services and the potential for innovative change in health care were the main reasons I decided to make the switch,” he said. This type of transition--between the financial services and health care industries, is happening more often because of their similarities, Decker said. “The two industries actually have a lot of fundamental underpinnings in common, such as the regulatory oversight, products that are consumer service-based, and a similar regional operations structure,” he said. “There are common goals and objectives that center on the consumer.” As a senior director for Aetna, Decker is immersed in the health care world while leveraging his background in financial services, especially his knowledge of consumer insights. He’s also gaining knowledge about health care as a member of the first cohort of CONHI’s new Health Care Innovation graduate certificate program. Modeled after the Master of Healthcare Innovation program, the 15-credit hour online certificate program prepares

students to create and lead change in health care with a focus on innovation. Decker and his peers learn through team case study analyses and change readiness assessments, while focusing on complexity leadership, systems thinking, and entrepreneurial concepts such as budgeting, idea pitching, and business plan design. Students cap off their program with a final project called an Innovation Proposal. With his classes completed and his final project in the works, Decker is set to finish the program this fall. The focus on innovation is key for Decker, along with what he considers the two most valuable characteristics of the program: the ability to interact with other leaders who have experience in health care--which provides students with valuable perspectives that help to reinforce key learning concepts from each class, and the opportunity to learn how to lead change in any health care organization. “I have come to realize that a revolutionary paradigm shift is upon the industry, and that more and more actors are pushing the agenda for change,” he said. “Partnerships between providers, payers, consumers, and government will maximize the positive impact of the changes.” One specific innovation that Decker anticipates will be particularly impactful is the implementation of a long-overdue national EHR/EMR system. “This will propel our health care system into the modern age of data technology.” Decker believes health payers like Aetna can be advocates for healthy lifestyles through its company-sponsored incentive programs that encourage members to participate in health screenings, consultations, and more. In addition to the intended health promotion benefits, the incentive programs strengthen consumer satisfaction. “Most innovations that are yet to come in health care will have at least one main tenet in common – they will teach us something new or allow us to broaden our understanding of both science and human life,” he said. “This has to lead to a better comprehension of how to improve outcomes for patients and how to lead to healthier lifestyles in general.”

DNP Alum Implements Operating Room Practice that Benefits Newborns and Mothers Davis’ final DNP project – Implementing Skin-to-Skin Contact in the Operating Room Following a Cesarean Delivery, as well as her partnerships at work, allowed her to advance an evidence-based practice project at Banner University Medical Center in Phoenix. “I was able to obtain approval from the hospital’s labor and delivery management team,” she said. “I have been fortunate to have supportive management and a group of skilled L&D staff on my project team.” Davis reported that her project increased patient satisfaction rates for mothers whose vaginal birth plan failed, and resulted in fewer NICU admissions for normal term infants. “Together, these two factors will result in Davis (2nd from right), Ross (center) and her DNP mentor group at graduation an increase in hospital revenue,” she said. “Furthermore, it supports the Joint Commission’s mandated initiative of increasing the incidence of exclusive breastfeeding.” s a labor and delivery nurse, CONHI DNP alumna Davis said her project was motivated by her commitment to Michelle Davis focuses on bringing new babies into the world in ways that support the wellbeing of the family. excellent patient care and making an impact on patients as well She tells the story of a patient who had had a traumatizing as the hospital. “Michelle is an exemplary model of delivering patientcesarean section experience with her first child, and was about centered evidence-based care, and a great example of how every ready to give birth to her second, with Davis’ help. health care provider should approach the work of caring for With her second pregnancy, the patient’s trial of labor patients,” said Heather Ross, Davis’ DNP faculty mentor at ASU. failed due to having a cephalopelvic disproportion.

Davis was also invited to present her research at an upcoming AACN webinar. “Michelle’s potential is limitless,” Ross said. “In addition to completing her DNP at ASU with training to practice in neonatology, she is currently training to become a midwife. Michelle will continue to be an evidence-based practice leader in that field.”

Students Advance Community Health through Interprofessional Care Delivery Team Just a few miles from the heart of downtown Phoenix lies the Human Services Campus. Here, in the shadow of high-rises and multi-million dollar stadiums, the most vulnerable members of the Phoenix community gather to safely store their belongings, find housing assistance, or simply receive a hot meal. Another group gathers here, too. Student volunteers, university faculty members, and health care professionals from across the state come together to run a free health care clinic for the homeless members of the community. For the community members, the clinic is a much needed opportunity to address their health. For the student volunteers, it is a way to gain hands-on experience in health care. For health care professionals, it’s an opportunity to train the next generation of health care providers. It serves many purposes, but it goes by one name: S.H.O.W. The Student Health Outreach for Wellness (S.H.O.W.) Community Health Initiative is a student-run, tri-university interprofessional initiative that provides free medical care, psychiatric care, and health promotion services for people experiencing homelessness in Phoenix, Arizona. Student involvement forms the core of SHOW, enabling students from a variety of disciplines to learn from and work alongside their peers and health care professionals at all levels of health care, from direct-patient care to management. “We strive to build leaders in all our students,” said Sukhdeep Singh, one of S.H.O.W.’s four student directors. “This supportive and collaborative atmosphere really allows students to blossom into passionate health-minded individuals.” When a small group of faculty members and students from across Arizona first thought up S.H.O.W. in May 2013, they knew that creating student leadership opportunities would be vital. All volunteers begin by choosing to serve on one of seven committees, ranging from patient-facing clinical operations to volunteer and human resources. Each committee then elects a student committee chair to represent them on the student executive committee, with guidance provided by faculty members. Overseeing the entire

organization is the S.H.O.W. advisory committee, where student directors, all of whom have previously served as a committee chair, meet with lead faculty and community partners. This organizational structure ensures that student suggestions are heard at all levels, and that new ideas can be effectively implemented. “The majority of ideas that come forth in our organization are thought of by our students,” Singh said. This has been true since S.H.O.W.’s creation, and extends to everyday operations. Students literally wrote the book on S.H.O.W. in the form of a 300-page policy and procedure manual. They also plan and coordinate S.H.O.W.’s annual health fair dedicated to homeless community members. Students are expected to find innovative ways to improve S.H.O.W., too. For example, S.H.O.W. is open on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., a timeframe that often requires patients to choose either health care services or lunch. Seeing the opportunity to solve this dilemma, Singh launched a partnership with St. Vincent de Paul to ensure that patients are provided a bagged lunch on weekends. This environment of collaborative innovation and health care has earned S.H.O.W. plenty of attention. In 2014, S.H.O.W. was honored with the Interprofessional Team Achievement Award at CONHI’s 2014 Dream-Discover-Deliver event for their significant achievements in the community. In early February, the Arizona Board of Regents invited S.H.O.W. leaders to an ABOR breakfast to be honored for their academic excellence, especially in diversity and community embeddedness. The University Senate recognized S.H.O.W. for its outstanding dedication to public health assessment, education, and referrals. For all of its success, S.H.O.W. looks to the future. Whether it’s an expansion of their current health assessment activities at Crossroads Treatment Center, or the possibility of providing veterinary services for patients’ pets, the result is the same: Quality health care for our homeless neighbors today, from the industry leaders of tomorrow.

Alumni Profile

with CONHI Alumna Charlotte Thrall, DNP (â&#x20AC;&#x2122;12), MSN (â&#x20AC;&#x2122;10), BSN (â&#x20AC;&#x2122;87)

: You created a nonprofit organization in 2005. How has it evolved over the years to meet the needs of the people you serve?

I created Community Health Outreach in response to the growing need I saw in our community. My husband and I had the privilege of doing ministry in urban Phoenix for many years, and it was evident that many of the families we cared for lacked access to health care for a variety of reasons. As an RN, my Board and I developed a small way to fill this gap through direct care, advocacy, and education. Community Health Outreach also became an outlet for me to serve families through an ongoing relationship with them. It is important to find services, but I also see it as important to personalize the care, remain connected to them, learn their names, their stories, and know their families. In other words, Community Health Outreach gave me the opportunity to humanize health care for this small population. Through the years, Community Health Outreach expanded to connect my growing passion for reaching larger numbers of underserved individuals more effectively, with the growing numbers of people in our community that desperately need health care. My husband and I first became aware of a long-standing community event in Tucson called HopeFest. We felt that this could be adapted and transferable to Maricopa County. Along with an amazing core team, and collaboration among groups of faith, civic, and government, HopeFest Phoenix was born in 2012. HopeFest Phoenix is a large direct care event targeting the working poor and underserved within our communities.

While the services offered on event day are vast and growing, we are committed to connecting our guests to resources and organizations that can assist them beyond the day itself. We find that many individuals simply are not aware that these services exist, and in many cases, HopeFest is a valuable connecting tool for the organizations themselves. This past April, we hosted our 5th event at Chase Field, continuing to draw approximately 25,000 individuals, including hundreds of volunteers.

: You came back to ASU in 2009 to earn your doctorate in nursing practice (DNP). How did that change things?

As my work in the city expanded, I realized that I was limited in my ability to provide direct care. Much of my time was spent looking for others who were qualified to provide what my specific underserved community needed. The many years of being an RN were sufficient for the time, but I knew I needed to expand my own learning, and raise the ceiling on my scope of care. Returning to school after 22 years to earn my doctorate in nursing changed everything for me, both professionally and personally. First, I had to learn how to learn again. Make no mistake, this was not easy for me, and stretched me beyond what I was expecting. The support I found within my family (4 of the 5 of us were enrolled at ASU at once), faculty, and peers made it possible for me to continue.

Alumni Profile continued The DNP degree enabled me to envision bigger things, while allowing me to make connections that may have been more difficult previously. Throughout the DNP experience, the collaborative connections throughout the city and state proved to be invaluable, not just for my volunteer work, but in my clinical practice as well. I was given access to another level of service partners, community leaders and health care providers, many of whom are now my friends, and continue to influence my work in all areas. I am so grateful for the good people I have met who are passionate about doing good things.

: In your clinical practice, you work one-on-one with patients every day. What does it mean to you to be able to serve in this way?

Helping people get well is why I originally went into nursing 33 years ago. I have seen that the best care happens when people are treated not just as a patient, but as a human being. Being able to see people one-on-one reminds them, and me, that I need to be both medically competent and personally kind. I believe that ethical care happens when individuals are not just told what is wrong, but are given empowering resources for life change. This does not always happen, and some days it seems idealistic, but is a worthy goal.

: A good teacher is always a continual student. What lessons do you take away from being an instructor in CONHI’s DNP program?

I simply love teaching. We have brilliant students in the DNP program with fresh perspectives and amazing clinical backgrounds and expertise. I learn from them in every course I teach. Many come into the program motivated by a desire to help the underserved, giving me so much hope for our future. I love watching students “get it,” absorbing very difficult information and experiences, coming out on the other side equipped with a new awareness and ability.

I love being able to tell students, from my own personal experience, that the course content they are learning in systems, leadership, and clinical courses, is directly applicable to their future practice. I love the interaction that I have with other faculty who excel in ways that I do not. I love the new challenges that teaching gives me, knowing that I have such a broad undercurrent of support.

: How has your experience as a nurse and the impact you’ve had opened new doors for service or created new ideas you’d like to explore?

I think we all appreciate the wide variety of options that nursing graciously gives us. Professionally and personally, I am surrounded by innovative thinkers who challenge me to think “beyond.” On the very first day of school in August of 2009, Dean Melnyk invited our 4th cohort to fail! I learned that she was inviting me to practice until I got it right. All three areas of my professional life--my practice, my teaching, and my volunteer work--are a study in practice, and I want to improve in all three.

As we prepare for HopeFest each year, we are able to improve based on what we have learned through successes and failures, the changing environment, and the skills of the volunteers who come to us. I believe that HopeFest is transferable nationally, and I would like to explore this possibility. Each year we add new opportunities for student engagement, and this should increase. There are resources and changes that are needed that we don’t even know of yet, and we are inviting community experts to teach us.

MHI Grad Brings

INNOVATION

to Military Career

eremy Stutzman always wanted to pursue a career in the health care arena, but didn’t have the money to attend college. After graduating from high school in 2001, the Arizona native joined the United States Air Force Reserves as a medical technician. “Serving was a great option to gain experience in the medical field as well as access to funds for college,” he said. Stutzman had his eye on medical school, but the more time he spent in emergency rooms in civilian jobs stateside and deployed overseas, the more his interest turned toward nursing. But being abroad prevented him from completing a clinical rotation in nursing, so he pursued an online bachelor’s degree in psychology from Arizona State University. In August 2016, Stutzman graduated from CONHI’s Master of Healthcare Innovation (MHI) program. During deployments in Germany and Iraq, Stutzman worked in an aeromedical staging facility and in the emergency department where he and others provided life-saving health care in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom. While there, he met his wife, Amy, also on active duty. They now live in Japan with their 2-year-old daughter, Cailyn. During his time at Balad Air Base in Iraq, Stutzman worked as part of a team in the emergency department, receiving patients directly from combat. His team provided lifesaving stabilization so patients could be sent to the trauma operating room or transported to other echelons of care. He had many unforgettable experiences while providing emergency medical care. “Most that stand out are the mass casualty trauma calls where we received multiple wounded,” he said. “These situations were always fast paced and chaotic but we worked together as a team, everyone knowing their specific job.” That well-oiled teamwork led them to a 98 percent save rate. As he worked in various emergency departments, Stutzman became interested in patients’ timely access to care, something he carried over into his MHI studies. “My final project was developing a local online appointment booking system to allow our (military) patients to book from anywhere, anytime instead of having to call in to a central appointment line with set hours,” he said. As the approach to health care changes in the military, Stutzman said that the leadership skills and innovation concepts

Innovations in Nursing & Health

he’s learned in the MHI program will make him a more valuable asset. When he and his wife changed stations in 2014, going from Turkey to Japan, he worked as a contractor in the patient administration office. While working closely with Medical Services Corp (MSC) officers whose jobs include supervisory administrative roles in all areas of a military treatment facility, he became inspired to apply for commission to become an MSC officer. “This is a very competitive career field in terms of getting endorsed and selected for commission,” he said. The number of people selected is well under 50 percent of applicants. If commissioned, Stutzman would like to focus on military cost saving measures and putting those funds back into military health care systems. Stutzman currently works in Japan as a civilian contractor for Leidos, a company that provides beneficiary services for military members located at overseas locations. As an Air Force reservist, Stutzman is assigned to the 374th Staff Judge Advocate office at Yokota Air Base in Japan. He has recently gone through a retraining program to become a paralegal. While it seems an unusual path for someone who just earned a degree in healthcare innovation, Stutzman said Air Force paralegals work alongside attorneys who provide legal advisement to medical groups regarding HIPAA, the Law of Armed Conflict, and other areas. “The MHI degree provided me with more than just ways to innovate while working directly in medicine,” he said. “Instead, it gave me tools to innovate any processes to make them as efficient as possible. It provided leadership skills that can be applicable to any career.”

UP CLOSE

New CONHI Center Focuses on Health Promotion and Disease Prevention By Gabriel Shaibi, PhD (Gabriel.Shaibi@asu.edu) and Melissa Tolson, MEd (Melissa.Tolson@asu.edu)

he Center for Health Promotion and Disease Prevention (CHPDP) is a collaborative, transdisciplinary center that conducts research, training, and outreach in close partnership with communities to improve health and prevent disease in vulnerable populations across the lifespan. The CHPDP provides a hub for researchers from different disciplines to collaborate on similar topics and learn from each other. This approach is known as team science and gives researchers an opportunity to ask bigger questions and test better solutions to challenging problems.

The term vulnerable population can be used to describe individuals from certain racial or ethnic minority groups, children, elderly, socioeconomically disadvantaged, as well as those with certain medical conditions. These individuals often exhibit a disproportionate burden of disease and may not benefit to the same degree from health promotion programs and policies designed for other populations. Additionally, health disparities experienced by vulnerable populations are often passed down from generation to generation. To be most effective in our research activities and to have the greatest impact, we have placed a major emphasis on working collaboratively with community partners to develop and implement research across the lifespan in hard to reach vulnerable populations. For this reason, our partners are critically important for grounding our work in the local community, helping us speed the translation of research findings into real-world impact. The CHPDP is structured around four core areas--administrative, research, training/mentorship, and community engagement, in order to contribute to the following goals: 1) advancing science in the field, 2) training the next generation of

Another way the CHPDP engages with the community is through our advisory boards. These boards form a bridge between various community members, agencies, stakeholders, and CHPDP faculty and staff in order to provide advice, enhance transparency, and broaden our collaborative reach. We will develop advisory boards that include representation across the lifespan, and have already piloted a youth advisory board.

Making an impact on both the science and practice of health promotion and disease prevention is our long-term vision. From a research perspective, our productivity will be assessed by the amount of funding and number of peerreviewed publications and book chapters that our faculty members contribute to advancing the science in the field. From a practical perspective, our success will be measured by the capacity we build with our community partners to make a positive impact on the health of the populations they serve.

The CHPDP represents a hub for developing and disseminating research, training future scientists, and making a meaningful impact in the communities we work with. This model is directly in line with ASU as a New American University and the College of Nursing & Health Innovationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mission. We look forward to sharing our progress with you and invite you to learn more about the Center for Health Promotion and Disease Prevention through our website (https://chpdp.asu.edu), Facebook page (@chpdpresearch) and Twitter (@asuchpdp).

Community outreach in Haiti

Caring is at the Heart of PhD Student’s Research in her Work with Syrian Refugees

hen Danielle Wofford graduated with her associate degree in nursing, she did what many new grads do and took an RN job at a local hospital and saved up some money. After five years at the hospital, she decided to shake things up a bit and bought a one-way ticket to Europe. While in Belgium, she volunteered at local refugee coffee shops and learned about the refugee experience by taking the time to listen to their stories. “That’s when I realized I had something to offer,” she said. “Even if it was just sitting and listening.” In those coffee shops, Wofford was introduced to what would become her life’s work. After four months in Belgium, she worked as a nurse, and then went to Egypt where she volunteered for various health care projects. A friend told her about a cardiothoracic surgeon who was opening a non-profit cardiac hospital in the area that would provide free world-class cardiac care to the underserved--the first of its kind in the region, where all providers and staff would be trained to American Heart Association standards. Wofford signed on and stayed with the Magdi Yacoub Heart Foundation in Aswan, Egypt, for three years. During that time she assisted in building the cardiac center, participated on the research team that helped elevate health

Innovations in Nursing & Health

outcomes for heart patients, provided cardiac care for all ages, helped write the care delivery model for the center, reinvented their nursing education, overcame cultural barriers to empower local nurses, and established a training center that continues her work today. She also put herself through an RN-to-BSN program, and taught herself to speak Arabic. It was Wofford’s achievements in Egypt, and her commitment to serving vulnerable populations in Africa, Haiti, Eastern Europe, and the Middle East, that earned her admission to the College of Nursing & Health Innovation’s BSN-to-PhD program, as well as pre-doctoral fellowships with the Hartford Center of Gerontological Nursing Excellence and the Transdisciplinary Training in Health Disparities Science program, funded by the National Institute of Nursing Research, National Institutes of Health. “Her enthusiasm for learning and having a positive influence on society, and her unique focus on women’s health among refugee women,” earned her a spot in the PhD program, said Elizabeth Reifsnider, associate dean for research at the College of Nursing & Health Innovation. Wofford’s first paper as a doctoral student, A Conversation with Calamity: Shedding Light on the Plight of Syrian Refugees,

Wofford (far left) in Jordan with Jean Watson (3rd from left) and new friends

co-authored with two research colleagues and published in the Journal of Health and Human Experience, is based on research that adapts a social ecological model as a framework to assess the Syrian refugee displacement experience. Wofford analyzed data collected by her partners from multiple countries surrounding Syria, and contributed information from her own interviews with refugee families who reside in the displacement zones surrounding Syria. “The initial project focused on exploring wellness needs for refugees, and quickly changed to outlining their displacement experience,” Wofford said. “After collecting and analyzing the data, we were overwhelmed with what we didn’t know about refugees’ daily struggles, and changed our research trajectory.” She learned that refugee women are often alone or with their children as they flee conflict, and many have PTSD and depression. She also discovered that of the four million Syrian refugees who have escaped conflict, less than one percent go through the lengthy process of entering developed countries. Most flee to nearby Turkey, Lebanon, Iraq, Egypt and Jordan. “The average time a refugee is in a camp is 20 years,” Wofford shared. This discovery, and the fact that many refugees never make it to official camps, but are forced instead to find refuge where they can--under bridges or in dumps, prompted her to devote her research to the spaces in between: the displacement zones. Wofford, who was recently awarded a scholarship by the Jonas Center for Nursing Excellence for her interest in global leadership, is actively building bridges with communities of likeminded people in order to have a greater impact. In February, she joined nurses from all over the world for the 4th Annual Middle Eastern Nurses & Partners Uniting in Human Caring conference in Amman, Jordan, hosted by the Watson Caring Science Institute. She engaged with others on caring science and discussed her research.

and kindness is the key to health.”

Because of her knowledge of the unspoken realities that refugees face throughout the displacement and resettlement process, she was asked to write a position paper, Equity and Equality of Medical Care for Refugees, on behalf of the Nurses in the Middle East (NME) of the Watson Caring Science Institute. Her insights also caught the attention of another participant--a nurse educator from New York and mentor with the United Nations, Dr. Holly Shaw, who invited Wofford to New York to present her research as a part of the Nightingale Initiative for Global Health (NIGH) at the UN’s Commission on the Status of Women conference the following month. Wofford spent five days in New York and presented on the last day of a weeks-long UN conference devoted to bringing issues to light that women face around the world. Dr. Jean Watson, the creator of the Theory of Caring Science, and an icon in Wofford’s eyes, was to be honored that afternoon, and was in the audience when Wofford presented her research. During Watson’s ceremony, Wofford was Wofford at the United Nations asked to share what Watson’s theories have meant to her nursing career. “I spoke about how Dr. Watson’s work impacted me as a nurse and how it will color my work as a future scholar,” she said. “Caring Science is the future of health care and nursing education globally. Love and kindness is the key to health.” While she is deep into the second year of her doctoral program, and works part-time as an RN, Wofford looks forward to traveling abroad for the next two summers to continue her research – “sitting and listening,” as she would say, to the community, her health care partners, and the refugees, this time with funding provided by USAID. “My ultimate goal is to advance nursing education and research in developing countries by focusing on the health and wellness needs of vulnerable populations,” she said. “I am a nurse at heart.”

Mindfulness Comes to ASU

o many things compete for our attention. Exciting ideas, notifications from email or social media, world events, changing priorities, time-sensitive problems to be solved, phone calls, people requesting a conversation, thoughts of things yet to do or concerns about something in the past. All of these things characterize competing demands for our focus. When we pay attention to one, the others continue to pull at us, often creating a fear of missing out. The constant din of stimuli can seem unrelenting at times, even when the stimuli might be positive, such as people we love, creative work projects, and new challenges. The cumulative effects of the prolonged, heavy mental traffic can be associated with physical illnesses such as hypertension, diabetes, inflammation and compromised immune function, and can also be implicated in insomnia, anxiety, depression and an overall sense of missing out on what is good in life. Fortunately, there are ways we can learn to maintain a more centered presence within ourselves, resulting in a healthier overall way of being. We are learning that there are approaches that can strengthen focus and bring a heightened awareness to activities, thoughts, and behaviors that are typically on â&#x20AC;&#x153;auto-pilot.â&#x20AC;? One of the approaches capturing the imagination of many researchers, business leaders, educators, athletes, and health professionals is mindfulness. Mindfulness and centering practices are rooted in many of the ancient wisdom traditions and now have a sound and growing research base. Focusing on the present moment creates a shift in energy expenditure. All the energy typically spent

worrying about the future or ruminating about the past can be used to participate more fully in life, moment by moment. It has been shown that individuals and groups can learn to more intentionally process their responses to stressful conditions in productive ways that support wellbeing, resilience, and long-range health. Mindfulness in this context means paying attention, intentionally, to the present moment with an attitude of acceptance, awareness, and non-judgment. Mindfulness has been used as an intervention in thousands of studies investigating its effects on a variety of outcomes, particularly in terms of wellbeing, health, and general performance. The practice is safe, effective, low-cost, and has an appeal to many audiences. The College of Nursing & Health Innovation is playing a major role in an interdisciplinary effort around mindfulness at ASU. Several internal and community volunteers (pictured) are laying the groundwork for a new mindfulness center that will provide several types of activities including academic classes, certificates, practice sites, facilitators for students, and the use of techniques for test-taking and academic success. Research plans include teaming with health care institutions and other universities. Much of the work of the center will be accomplished with true collaboration among various entities. One of the defining goals will be a mechanism for shared work and cohesion among those who are interested in mindful living from an academic, research, personal, and programmatic interest. Stay tuned for more details on this exciting initiative!

ASU Partnership

Advances Baccalaureate Nursing Education in Rural Community

Stephanie Ford and Carolyn McCormies at Eastern Arizona College

S t’s an amazing “ Iopportunity for students to meet their goals in an efficient way.

” –Carolyn McCormies

tephanie Ford was working full-time on the night shift at a local prison when she started taking the prerequisite courses for Eastern Arizona College’s nursing program. The 25-year-old single mother and full-time student learned to balance her job and school while volunteering two days a week at a local hospice. After a full day at the prison, which started very early in the morning, she would come home, play with her daughter, make dinner, and then dive into her studies. “There are days when you feel like you can’t do it, but you remember you’re going to help people and it keeps you going.” she said. In May, Ford graduated with her associate degree in nursing from Eastern Arizona College, and passed the NCLEX-RN exam. She is also on track to earn her BSN degree next May from ASU’s College of Nursing & Health Innovation through Eastern Arizona College’s Concurrent Enrollment Program (CEP). The new CEP program between ASU and Eastern Arizona College in the rural community of Thatcher allows eligible students enrolled in Eastern’s nursing program to pursue their BSN degree from ASU and their associate degree from Eastern concurrently. Offered in a hybrid format, students learn through face-to-face and online classes taught by dedicated ASU and Eastern faculty from the Gila Valley. When they finish all components of the CEP program at Eastern, students will have earned a baccalaureate degree from ASU. Ford said she wanted to encourage her daughter, who is now three years old, to follow her dreams. She believes that her influence on her daughter–watching Ford pursue her degree and stay focused on her goals–will teach her never to give up. “I hope she goes to college,” she added. Ford initially had fears that she wouldn’t have time for nursing school, or that the cost would be too high. She now believes the CEP program, while rigorous, has been a great opportunity. “The program removes barriers for students,” said Carolyn McCormies, Eastern’s nursing program director. “ASU is a great partner to have.” A Brown Scholar and graduate of CONHI’s original RN-to-MS program in nursing, and a board certified nurse practitioner, McCormies understands the value of an ASU education, especially in her role as the director of Eastern’s program.

Innovations in Nursing & Health

While costs and other student concerns have always kept McCormies awake at night, the CEP program between the two institutions has addressed those concerns. “We share a standard of excellence, and an insistence upon excellence,” McCormies said. “It’s an amazing opportunity for students to meet their goals in an efficient way.” Students finish their degrees guided by supportive local instructors from ASU and Eastern in less time than if they had pursued each degree at separate institutions. McCormies’ personal touch has made a difference in Eastern’s program. She has developed mentorships to help Eastern’s students learn more about the benefits of the CEP program; she has arranged for advanced CEP students to help younger students stay committed; and she hosts barbeques for her students and their families. That family atmosphere and support proved invaluable during Ford’s third semester. Just before starting block three, Ford’s father died unexpectedly. “My heart was broken and I was devastated,” she said. “I met with EAC and ASU faculty and they worked with me. I had so much support from both colleges, and I am forever thankful.” Relationships are important to Eastern’s faculty, students, and community members, just as they are with ASU. When ASU president Michael Crow and Eastern Arizona College president Mark Bryce began discussions about a possible partnership six years ago to make baccalaureate programs available for Eastern’s students, they thought the program should be 100 percent face-to-face. But Eastern’s nursing students preferred hybrid and online classes because of their busy schedules. The two institutions and program leaders took the feedback to heart and negotiated the format over time to fit the needs of their students. ASU hired Eastern’s nursing instructors to deliver the ASU courses, each of whom had relationships with EAC students. Students take classes in a variety of settings depending on whether the class is an Eastern or ASU course. Eastern’s classes are offered in the clinical setting and the classroom or lab. ASU courses meet in person once a week and online. Both institutions work together to help students succeed. ASU’s mission as a public state university is to provide access to all students, including those who don’t have the advantage of living in the Phoenix area, said Maria Hesse, vice provost for academic partnerships at ASU. “We serve the community in partnership, playing to the strengths of both institutions,” she said. It also helps ASU meet its goals of preparing BSN students to be able to pursue advanced degrees and meet the Institute of Medicine’s recommendations, said Diann Muzyka, director of the RN-to-BSN program and the Concurrent Enrollment Program at ASU’s College of Nursing & Health Innovation.

It’s also important that students can find access where it’s financially affordable, she said. “We are able to prepare nurses at the baccalaureate level, and help meet the IOM recommendations (80 percent BSN-prepared workforce in place by 2020),” Muzyka said. “Research shows that patient outcomes are better with nurses who have earned a bachelor’s degree. It’s a benefit to patients and the communities in which we live.” The idea of community got bigger this summer when a small group of nursing students from Eastern’s 2015 CEP cohort had an opportunity to travel to Honduras for a weeklong international community health experience. Coordinated by Eastern’s nursing faculty, the students lived with a host family and worked at local clinics. In the crowded lobby of the Nacaome Valle Hospital where the students did intake and triage, it was over 90 degrees with 80 percent humidity. Patients waited patiently in line for up to three hours and were grateful to see a doctor and walk out with something as simple as ibuprophen or vitamins, said Sara Lemley, CEP nursing faculty. “During their stay, students were able to better understand and experience a foreign health care system and care for patients alongside Honduran nurses and health care personnel,” Lemley said. Stephanie Ford was one of the students. “I was struck by how grateful and kind this community was,” Ford said. “I will take the teamwork I learned into my nursing career, and have respect for other members of the team because we all bring something to the table, and together we provide effective care.”

PhD Student Aims to Improve Maternal Child Nutrition and Food Security

Autumn Argent (center) with her project team at the Ekailo Kiona Center, Kenya

utumn Argent is a third year doctoral student in the College of Nursing & Health Innovation. She currently works as a nurse researcher with Organic Health Response at the Ekailo Kiona Center, a community based organization (CBO) in Kenya that supports health, culture and the ecosystem on Mfangano Island. As a recipient of the Linda Kay Jones Memorial Scholarship, Argent understands the significance of philanthropy, especially the impact it has had on her academic journey. She believes that scholarships are an act of faith. “I believe in myself, I believe I can make a difference, but the financial support provided by scholarships, particularly from the Linda Kay Jones Memorial Scholarship, has provided me with the knowledge that someone else also believes I can make a difference,” she said. Argent’s research interest is focused on improving perinatal and maternal child nutrition. She puts her passion to work in Kenya where she evaluates the effectiveness of a social networking intervention aimed at improving maternal child nutrition and food security in this rural island community. “By evaluating what has been effective and what can be improved, I can help the CBO expand their programming throughout the island,” she said. Argent’s vision is to create communities where all expecting mothers are educated and have the resources and support they need to have a healthy pregnancy and baby.

Innovations in Nursing & Health

“I have always been drawn to helping those around me,” she said. “This started early, but turned into a passion for health care when I was 17 and began working at a home for developmentally disabled children parttime during college. It sparked a fire in me to help others obtain their best life possible.” In 2006 Argent completed two undergraduate degrees from ASU simultaneously--nursing and nutrition. ASU’s commitment to providing services and programs to the disparate communities of Arizona, and the university’s affiliations with innovative programs nationwide, have kept her inspired and motivated. But it was her life circumstances growing up that taught her resilience. There has been a common thread running through Argent’s life that has brought her to where she is today, she said. “I believe that each adversity I have faced has worked to make me stronger.” “I grew up knowing how to plant a garden for my own food, collect cans for coins, heat with only firewood or coal because the propane was too expensive, haul water from town to our cistern and then wait hours for that water to slowly fill up pots of water which were then heated on the wood burning stove in order to have a warm bath,” she said. Argent faced very difficult situations in life but found the strength to succeed. Her single mother worked two or three jobs at a time to support her family, and later decided to return to college when Argent was nine years old. They survived on public assistance and moved 11 times during Argent’s childhood to find better living conditions. “I distinctly remember teachers overlooking me for opportunities because I was too poor to make it out of Mancos, Colorado,” she said. Argent helped the family financially by working various odd jobs, starting as young as 10 years old. By the age of 20 she married her first husband, and by 23 she was pregnant.

Not prepared for the life of a parent, her husband left, leaving her to raise their child alone. Argent remarried, but her second husband was later diagnosed with bipolar disorder and anger management issues, which ended their marriage. “I look back and think of what I have overcome--extreme poverty, many poor decisions, abusive relationships, and a history of sexual assault, single parenting, and instability,” she said.

Despite this, Argent has grown from these early years and is grateful for all she has learned and the support she has received, with the intention to pay it forward. “My passion is working with communities, specifically communities that are at higher disparity levels,” she said. “I have a passion for working with young families who are seeking additional support and have the motivation to better their lives through that support.”

Saying ‘Thank You’ For a Life Together

t was an instant love connection for Walter Lemon. A US Marine with only thirty days until he shipped out for Vietnam, Walt was mingling at a party one night in December 1968 when he spied a shy brunette named Theresa, his sister’s suite mate at Arizona State University’s Manzanita Hall. He mustered the courage to ask her out. She “surprised the hell out of him” by accepting. For the next four years, Walt and Terri’s life was marked by the interruption and uncertainty that accompanies a four-year stint in the military. They dated on and off. They wrote letters back and forth. Returning home in 1969, Walt re-enrolled at Arizona State University, where Terri was studying nursing and where he wrestled with his pre-war career choice, journalism. His father told him about ASU’s construction engineering program, where a retired admiral in charge of construction in Vietnam served as counselor. In fact, retired military dominated the program’s teaching roster. Like his bond with Terri, it was a perfect match. By the time Walt and Terri married in 1974, their college experiences had steered them both to satisfying careers, Teri to pediatric orthopedics at Good Samaritan Hospital in Phoenix, Walt to construction management. So when Terri passed away from cancer after forty-one years of marriage, Walt honored her memory by establishing the Theresa Jean Lemon Memorial Scholarship at ASU’s College of Nursing & Health Innovation—an institution that provided purpose and direction in their early years together. “She was really proud she was a graduate of ASU CONHI, and of what ASU gave her,” Walt said. “I wanted the university to know how much the college meant to her and that was the best way I could think of doing it.” The scholarship is a way for Walt to express his appreciation too.

“There is no doubt in my mind that construction degree opened up doors that even today are hard for me to imagine,” Walt said. “It taught me how to think and solve problems. Throughout my entire career, the companies I worked for would give me challenges. They wouldn’t tell me how to solve them, it was up to me, and my education at ASU was fundamental in my thought process in how to solve them.” After her death, Walt’s appreciation for Terri’s profession deepened. Diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, he relied on registered nurses who cared for him with empathy and understanding. Walt died in April, one year after his beloved Terri. Editor’s note: Walt and Terri are survived by two sons, Alex and Anthony. To learn more about their story, please contact Eric Spicer at CONHI, eric.spicer@asu.edu.

DNP Grad, Scholarship Recipient Helps Homeless and Vulnerable Regain Health and Wellbeing

elissa Morrison, a recent Doctor of Nursing Practice grad from ASU’s College of Nursing & Health Innovation, was awarded a full scholarship in her final academic year by the National Health Service Corps (NHSC), an agency of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services that ensures access to health care services for people who are uninsured, isolated, or medically vulnerable. Morrison was one of only 196 students selected to receive the scholarship from over 5,000 applicants. The scholarship included funds for tuition and fees, a monthly support stipend, and assistance with other costs such as books, clinical supplies, lab expenses, and uniforms–all in exchange for serving at an NHSC-approved site for two years for each year of scholarship support received. “As you can imagine, I was very excited and honored and also tremendously relieved by the financial burden the scholarship alleviated,” she said. Morrison was selected for the scholarship, in large part, because of her dedication to the underserved and medically vulnerable, which began long before she became a nurse. “In nursing school I volunteered at Healthcare for the Homeless and was one of the surveyors for the 2010 Home, Health, Hope campaign, where the 50 most medically vulnerable homeless people in the region were identified to put into secure permanent housing,” she said. As a graduate student and practicing nurse, Morrison made volunteer service a priority. She volunteered with Mission of Mercy, a collection of mobile clinics that provide free health care and medications for uninsured working poor; and Circle the City, a medical respite center for homeless patients recovering from acute illness or injury. She also volunteered with 1st Step Drop-In Center, a semiannual event to help women, men, and transgendered people out of prostitution. Diane Nunez, clinical associate professor with ASU, credits Morrison with initiating a partnership between Circle the City and the College of Nursing & Health Innovation, which has become a valuable contribution to the college’s graduate program clinical experiences, Nunez said. “Melissa’s personal and clinical experiences working with vulnerable populations have shaped her perception of individual and social health needs, specifically regarding those experiencing homelessness,” Nunez said. “She is poised to become a leader in health policy and health care delivery that broadly includes many subsets of our nation.” Nursing was a second career for Morrison after two decades as a journalist. She wrote for the Dallas Morning News, and freelanced as a reporter in Europe and the U.S. She was drawn to meaningful stories that would help change things, she said. “It gave me an excuse to be a part of people’s lives at significant times,” she said, noticing the connection to her current career path. It was her volunteer service years ago in the ER at Banner University Medical Center in Phoenix that motivated her to become a nurse. “I was ready for a change, and I was always reading in the paper about the nursing shortage and thought that would be a profession where I could contribute positively to people’s lives.”

Innovations in Nursing & Health

After earning her BSN degree from ASU in 2010, she went to work for her former volunteer site, Banner University Medical Center. As a nurse in the hospital’s Neuro ICU, she cared for patients with various neurologic conditions, including those who had had a stroke. Through her work with her patients, she learned the value of advance directives for the homeless, and selected the subject as the focus of her final DNP project. Her project involved Circle the City and Justa Center, a day resource center for older adults who are homeless. While her patients had already been thinking about advance directives, talking it over and providing help with these decisions gave her patients a greater sense of peace, she said. “They wanted to have a voice.” Morrison graduated with her DNP degree in May, and started a new job with Your

Neighborhood Healthcare Center, a patient centered medical home, in September. She’ll also continue volunteering at the S.H.O.W. clinic, this time serving as a preceptor. “The S.H.O.W. clinic was crucial to my transition from RN to NP, and they are reaching the very clients I want to reach,” she said. While it’s a requirement of Morrison’s scholarship to work with the underserved after graduation, she had always intended

to work as a nurse practitioner in a local clinic providing primary care services to homeless and underserved people. “My plan was to be a primary care provider at a clinic that provides care regardless of ability to pay,” she said. “I feel like a person is hobbled from improving their circumstances if he or she is in poor health, and taking charge of one’s health is very empowering.”

Reviving the Commitment to College Alumni

he Community Engagement for Health (CEH) unit was created to establish a pipeline to college for K-10 students, grow community connections, bring visibility to the college and to the ASU Health Services–Community Health Center, and provide continuing nursing education programs. 2016 brought a new role to CEH: Alumni Relations, led by Angela Haskovec. Angela brings her degrees, a Master of Education in Educational Leadership and a Bachelor of Arts in Journalism and Mass Communication, plus 10 years of ASU experience as a program manager involved with student and alumni populations. Angela is actively developing a comprehensive alumni relations program with the intention of solidifying alumni connections to the college and increasing awareness and involvement in college initiatives.

“I love working in higher education and staying in touch with the future,” Haskovec said. “There have been many times I’ve met with students or recent graduates and left my interaction with them thinking, ‘they are going to change this world for the better.’”

Healthy Lifestyles

May Lead to Health Care Careers

guiding principle of CEH rests on the premise that as young people learn about health and living a healthy lifestyle, the more likely they will be interested in seeking a career in health care, such as nursing, community health, or care coordination. CEH implemented this strategy by recently facilitating several health fairs in collaboration with CONHI’s community health nursing students and the Boys and Girls Clubs of Metropolitan Phoenix. The nursing students researched, developed, and presented health education on various topics to club members as part of their community health course requirement. The health fairs provided club members from 3rd-12th grades with instruction in hygiene, nutrition, exercise, sleep, tobacco prevention, and how to handle peer pressure. Approximately 300 club members from the Gabel and

Parsons branches, and 20 nursing students participated in this win-win activity. Amanda Pulley, an ASU nursing student, said this about her health fair experience: “I now have a solid respect for the frontline work community nurses do as they care for vulnerable populations and influence policy,” she said. “Teaching the children provided an environment of excited involvement as questions were asked and information was shared on various subjects we had pulled together. The project left me with a feeling that we had truly made a difference and is one of the most rewarding experiences I have had so far.”
