Edna Adan Ismail was named the first recipient of the Penn Nursing Renfield Foundation Award for Global Women’s Health, receiving a $100,000 prize from an endowment created by the Beatrice Renfield Foundation, in recognition of her incredible work in improving the health and lives of women in Somaliland and around the world. 9 unique healthcare applications have been developed by Penn Nursing’s
Health Technology Innovation Incubator, which connects people from diverse disciplines across the University, the Penn Medicine Health System and beyond to stimulate and expand on the interconnectivity between healthcare science, clinical practice, civic life, and emerging technologies. These transformative innovations are already having an impact on improving health and reducing the costs associated with healthcare. 14 Penn Nursing scholars received their PhD degrees this past May, equipped with the knowledge and skills to assume leadership and research positions in academia, government, health systems, and industry. With less than 1 percent of the nursing workforce holding a doctoral degree in nursing and many with PhDs nearing retirement, the development of these future leaders remains vital.
73 Penn Nursing Alumni participated in the School’s alumni liaison program this past fall, enabling freshman students to shadow them through first-
time clinical nursing experiences and serving as powerful role models for this next generation of nursing leaders.
81 students from Penn Nursing studied abroad this past year. Living and
learning in 10 different countries, these scholars expanded their knowledge and skills needed to address today’s global health challenges.
609 Penn parents, alumni, students and friends attended HEALTHY CITIES:
HEALTHY WOMEN 2014-2015 conferences in London, Washington, D.C., and Philadelphia, engaging in critical dialogues on the issues affecting the health of women living in cities worldwide and the potential solutions that could make our communities safer and more livable for populations across the globe.
1,138 Penn Nursing alumni have already connected with us on Linkedin,
promoting networking and career opportunities and ways to stay connected to Penn Nursing.
No limits to what we can achieve together… Many things have changed since I first stepped through the doors of Penn Nursing over 30 years ago. As a master’s student and former faculty member, I know firsthand the power of Penn Nursing, of our science, our education and our impact. Today, we have a new building, innovative curriculum, and expanded research capabilities and agenda, among countless other changes to the School’s programs and resources. But as much as Penn Nursing has evolved, the passion and commitment of its scholars has stayed the same, promoting a community of nurses with the drive and vision to advance health science, policy, and patient outcomes here and around the world. We do indeed “Care to Change the World” by improving the health and lives of today’s populations, and developing solutions to tomorrow’s greatest health and healthcare challenges. At Penn Nursing, the generosity of my fellow alumni and friends has built an incredible foundation to support and educate the next generation of innovators who will lead these transformations in healthcare. As I embark on my first year as Dean, I am especially grateful for the School’s long-term partners and donors who continue to support our School in shaping future nurse leaders and nurse-led innovations. It is these extraordinary partnerships which have positioned Penn Nursing at the forefront of translating education and research into the policy and practice arenas which will improve care in hospitals, homes, clinics and communities across the globe. As the sixth Dean of this remarkable School, I am grateful to Dean Meleis and to all of the other leaders who served before me and who have created our foundation of excellence, innovation and impact. In the weeks and months to come, I look forward to partnering with you to build on this foundation, and explore new collaborations and initiatives which advance excellence at the School, innovation within the nursing profession, and impact in improving global health. There are no limits to what we can achieve together for Penn Nursing and for the future of our world.

ACCESS AND EXCELLENCE IN EDUCATION As the largest segment of the nation’s healthcare workforce, nurses play a vital role in improving healthcare access and equity in the U.S. and beyond. Penn Nursing has long shined a light on this role and advocated for the expansion of nurses’ scope of practice, as recommended in the Institute of Medicine’s 2010 Future of Nursing report. In order to improve the health and quality of life for patients and their families everywhere, support for nursing education is more critical than ever. The School’s scholarships and other funding for educational programs open the door to the world-class education that Penn Nursing provides to countless talented and passionate students. Armed with that education, these students will have the tools and knowledge to develop and lead powerful improvements in the health and healthcare of our world.

A Fine Appreciation for Nursing As a long-time board member of Penn Nursing’s Barbara Bates Center for the Study of the History of Nursing, Hannah Henderson has long cultivated a fine appreciation for the art and skill of nursing. Surrounded by incredible stories of nurses around the world, Mrs. Henderson has continued to be inspired by nurses’ leading role in advancing the quality and accessibility of healthcare throughout the decades. At the same time, she’s learned firsthand the varied and complex challenges facing the nurses of yesterday, today, and tomorrow. With a growing nursing faculty shortage and expanding need for nurses to fill primary care roles in our nation’s healthcare system, Mrs. Henderson recognized the vital need to invest in nursing education. With an extraordinary gift of $1 million, Mrs. Henderson has established the Hannah Lowell Henderson Endowed Nursing Fellowship, the first endowed fellowship at Penn Nursing to support doctorate level students. This fellowship will provide critical aid to countless master’s and PhD students who plan to pursue a future career in nursing education. Never has there been a more critical time to support the nursing faculty who will prepare these future nurses and instill in them a commitment to critical thinking, patient advocacy, and compassionate care. Thanks to the support of Hannah Henderson, Penn Nursing will have the resources to prepare these kinds of visionary leaders for generations to come. “I witnessed firsthand the significant impact of nurses on the health and longevity of my mother’s family and their dedication to patients across the lifespan in caring for my husband’s many health issues,” said Mrs. Henderson. “I quickly learned that nurses possess unique skills to recognize and address all factors affecting a patient’s health. A nurse is like no other. They recognize the importance of patient advocacy and employ both creativity and expertise to pursue advancements in care and create impactful social change every day.”
From the very beginning, Penn Nursing has equipped students with the tools and research opportunities to become the next generation of innovators and educators. In light of today’s healthcare reform, growing shortage of nursing faculty, and increasing cost of an advanced degree, it makes Mrs. Henderson’s gift even that much more vital. “Nurses are powerful healthcare leaders who advocate on behalf of patients and families every day, promoting teamwork and collaboration across the healthcare field,” said Connie M. Ulrich, Associate Professor of Bioethics and Nursing and Chair of the Graduate Studies Program. “With her support, Mrs. Henderson is helping ensure Penn Nursing and nursing schools around the world will continue to educate a workforce of nurses to deliver quality, compassionate, and expert care and to develop solutions that improve outcomes for patients and their families.”

The Promise of Primary Care As specialization among healthcare providers has grown over the past decade, primary care remains a powerful promise for a healthier future. Primary care clinicians enable patients to get the right care, in the right setting, delivered by the most appropriate practitioner, with a focus on helping patients manage chronic conditions, prevent illness and live healthier lives. But the shortfall of primary care clinicians is projected to be between 20,400 and 52,000 by 2020. The need is great; and nurse practitioners are vital to achieving the unrealized promise of primary care. With his recent gift to Penn Nursing, Robert Hart has answered the critical call to prepare more primary care nurse practitioners and transform the future of healthcare, through the establishment of the Emanuel and Robert Hart Nursing Scholars Program. This program
will provide crucial support to graduate and second degree nursing students who have demonstrated a commitment to improving community-based and/or primary care, including students enrolled in the AdultGerontology Primary Care Nurse Practitioner (NP), Family NP, Pediatric Primary Care NP, Psychiatric-Mental Health NP, Women’s Health NP, and Nurse-Midwifery programs. Nationwide, there is growing recognition that allowing nurses to practice to the full extent of their education and training lies at the heart of critical solutions addressing both access and quality in primary care. Yet, nursing has long been a significantly underfunded sector of health science, healthcare, and preparation for health practice. A longtime supporter of healthcare at the University of Pennsylvania and beyond, Mr. Hart recognized the power and promise of nursing students and graduates in providing much-needed primary care to a growing and aging population. Through the Hart Scholars Program, he will provide crucial tuition support to Penn Nursing students, creating a cadre of nurses positioned to augment our nation’s cohort of independent healthcare providers and make a difference in the lives of countless patients and families. “To invest in nurses and nursing is an investment in better healthcare for so many,” said Hart. “It is an investment in better access to truly coordinated, frontline care for many who have never had this access before. The Hart Scholars program will provide scholarships to students who want to become nurse practitioners and are dedicated to the idea that individuals should have a trusted primary healthcare provider that helps them live healthier lives.”

Penn (Nursing) Takes on Princeton This might come as a surprise to some, but you will find a strong Penn presence in Princeton – and not just when the two schools’ teams clash in a sports venue. In 2002, the late George H. and Estelle M. Sands established the Sands Scholars Program at Penn Nursing, a scholarship program that connects students with the University Medical Center at Princeton-Plainsboro (UMCPP) for their clinicals and a two-year work commitment following graduation. This program has transformed the lives of more than 40 students, giving them the resources to complete their education, and the tools and opportunities to become the next generation of innovators leading advancements in care. Given the incredible success of this initiative and the extraordinary impact it has had on the Princeton region and beyond, the next generation of George and Estelle’s family has generously renewed their family foundation’s support for this program. Inspired by their parents’ longtime commitment to the Princeton region and their mother’s career as a nurse, the children who are trustees of the Foundation have chosen to continue their mission, to supporting the advancement of quality healthcare and future nursing leaders. While Penn’s commitment to need-based financial aid without loans has presented lifechanging opportunities for many students, the cost of a Penn Nursing education may still be beyond the ability of some families to support. Students who otherwise would not be eligible for loans but who need the support receive much-needed tuition relief through the Sands Scholars Program. “The generosity of the Sands Foundation has made all the difference
for many of our traditional and accelerated second degree students,” said Kathy McCauley, Associate Dean for Academic Programs. “The dream of a Penn Nursing education can become a reality – a total win-win – Penn graduates with less debt burden and stellar clinicians practicing at the Medical Center in Princeton!” Through the Sands Scholars Program, Penn Nursing has developed an incredibly rewarding partnership with UMCPP. Sands Scholars have played an integral role in shaping the future of UMCPP, which recently moved to a brandnew facility. Former Sands Scholar Ashley Zampini, Nu’07, GNu’10, worked closely with the UMCPP Chief Nursing Officer on the medical center’s successful application for Magnet Status, which they were awarded in the fall of 2012. Zampini continues to credit this opportunity and her experience as a Sands Scholar for helping define her nursing career. “My experience in Princeton positioned me to be a big fish in a smaller, though very rich pond,” said Zampini. “I had the opportunity to interact with hospital leadership very early in my career which facilitated the development of not only strong clinical knowledge, but also healthcare administrative skill sets. I felt empowered, enabling me to advocate for changes that would improve patient care through evidence-based practice.”

advancing science through INNOVATION Healthcare innovation is more critical than ever, as our world enters a new era of challenges and opportunities. Penn Nursing faculty are always one step ahead, formulating new research, programs, and technologies to address the critical issues of today and tomorrow. From the laboratory, to the hospital bed, to home care, to mobile devices, Penn Nursing scholars continue to develop the theory and science that can transform care and outcomes. With the support of alumni and friends, Penn Nursing is uniquely positioned to have an exponential impact on the advancement of science and research, resulting in a more accessible healthcare system and the improvement of the health of patients and their families around the world.

Making an App for That In today’s fast-paced world, information is expected to be available at the swipe of a finger. After all, there must be an app for everything. But most of today’s health-focused innovations are generated by tech companies – not by nurses, who have always been one of the greatest resources for patients trying to improve their health or living with chronic illness. Penn Nursing is changing that. For one faculty member, Dr. Anne Teitelman, the goal was to create a new, evidence-based tool that would empower women to make better lifestyle decisions and improve their health. She has spent her career generating solutions to women’s health issues and sees her latest innovation as another opportunity to make a difference – using 21st century technology. With the vital support of funds available through her endowed professorship, the Patricia Bleznak Silverstein Endowed Term Chair in Global Women’s Health, Dr. Teitelman has been able to venture into new and innovative arenas and one result was the Everhealthier mobile application, which allows women to track cancer prevention tasks for themselves and other women in their “healthy circle” through the web and text messaging. Dr. Teitelman collaborated with Damien Leri, head of an information technology company, Marilyn Stringer, GNu’91, Gr’95, GNC’97, Women’s Health Nursing-Clinician Educator Professor Emerita at Penn Nursing, and Ben Koditschek, an interface designer, to first create this application.
English and Spanish, and it provides up-to-date information on numerous health issues and links to online resources, including various organizations’ cancer care and prevention Facebook and Twitter feeds. Dr. Teitelman and her colleagues garnered early buzz around their work, last fall receiving first place in the Reducing Cancer Among Women of Color Challenge from the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) in partnership with the Office of Minority Health, both part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Early results and user feedback suggest the app can be helpful for women of all ages for a multitude of health issues. “Learning about Dr. Teitelman’s research and the implications it could have for such a broad population, we were thrilled it was something we helped make possible,” said Patricia Silverstein. “She’s combined her practical foundation from nursing with the benefits of interdisciplinary partnerships to create an accessible tool that anyone can use to improve their health.”
Thanks to a recent additional gift from her chair supporters Patricia and Howard Silverstein, Dr. Teitelman has been able to advance the Everhealthier mobile application and her health technology research. Tasks that can be tracked via the application include screenings and prevention behaviors that match users’ ages and profiles according to the national guidelines and that can be shared with the users’ loved ones. The application uses both

Home is Where Your Healthcare Is For close to 25 years, a team of researchers at Penn Nursing has generated knowledge that has influenced nurse staffing policies in hospitals and, in doing so, improved outcomes for patients and saved lives. From studying the patient impact of mandated overtime for nurses to calculating the increased possibility of death for a patient with overburdened nurses on their hospital floor, Dr. Linda Aiken and her team at Penn Nursing’s Center for Health Outcomes and Policy Research (CHOPR) have transformed heathcare policy in health systems around the world. CHOPR is a unique community within Penn Nursing which draws together faculty, students, and pre- and post-doctoral fellows from nursing, sociology, demography, medicine, management, economics, and other related disciplines. As hospitals must provide care to more acute and complicated patient populations, their multi-disciplinary research on the impact of health system reorganization and policy changes is more vital than ever. With federal research funding continuing to dramatically decrease, Dr. Aiken recognized there was a need for immediate aid to sustain and expand the Center’s influential research and made a generous personal gift in support of CHOPR.

“To continue to thrive in this difficult funding environment, the Center needed venture capital now to create new funding strategies and to take advantage of newly emerging targets of opportunity to advance nursing outcomes research, said Dr. Aiken. “I hope my gift will continue to encourage other donors to invest in nursing research at this critical time.” Dr. Aiken’s commitment has already inspired one long-time partner of Penn Nursing, the Rita & Alex Hillman Foundation, to support the Center’s research in home healthcare. No sector of healthcare has experienced more
dramatic change over the past 50 years, as small, largely-nurse-led home health services have given way to large, complex national and regional business-oriented organizations. The challenges and problems faced by home health organizations today are just as complex and important as those faced by today’s hospitals, with patients increasingly suffering from more acute health issues and chronic illnesses. Developing solutions to these issues could have a significant impact on improving the health and lives of some of our world’s most vulnerable populations. The Hillman Foundation recently made an influential grant to CHOPR
to match Dr. Aiken’s investment and support a new CHOPR home health study designed to conduct large scale nursing outcomes research that could have long reaching and lasting implications on home care policy. With an established record of policy influence in the hospital sector and validated approaches to research, Dr. Aiken and her CHOPR colleagues hope to translate their influential research to home care and even more broadly improve healthcare delivery and patient outcomes.

PARTNERSHIP FOR IMPACT Penn Nursing faculty and students are voiced, empowered, and focused on making an impact – from the streets of West Philadelphia to the villages of Guatemala. Our scholars and students remain dedicated to bringing the benefits of Penn Nursing research and teaching to individuals and communities here and around the world. They recognize the importance of local and global partnerships in engaging a multidisciplinary community to advance health science, education, practice, and policy. It is these partnerships and support for these endeavors which strengthens Penn Nursing’s ability to learn from and develop solutions to the urgent issues facing today’s vulnerable populations.

Supporting Global Learning Opportunities for Penn Nursing Students As a Penn Nursing junior studying abroad at the University of Edinburgh, Sandy Beeber Samberg, Nu’94, developed an early interest in global health. Both inside and outside the classroom, Sandy learned a tremendous amount about nursing and healthcare systems in the United Kingdom and beyond. While enrolled in both nursing and liberal arts courses, Sandy lived in a house with 12 students from 11 different countries. This was a kind of diversity she had never experienced before. “It opened my eyes in so many ways,” said Samberg. “When I returned to America, I gravitated towards people from other cultures because I was fascinated by what I could learn from them.” Committed to ensuring future Penn Nursing students could have a similar experience and continue to make an impact on global health, Sandy and her husband Joe established the Samberg Family Global Endowed Fellowship Fund. Penn Nursing students care to change the world every day. Through a variety of study abroad programs, our students have the opportunity to have a direct impact on health and healthcare delivery in countries across the globe and learn valuable lessons about themselves, people, and the world. These experiences come at a significant cost however; one that interested students might not always be able to meet. The Samberg Family Global Endowed Fellowship Fund is a first-of-its-kind endowment designed to provide critical support to Penn Nursing students who demonstrate financial need and desire to take advantage of global practice, educational or research opportunities.
One course whose students will benefit from this fund is Maternal and Infant Care in the Americas. This course explores the delivery of healthcare to women and children from various contexts and includes five seminars on campus and ten to fourteen days on site in the country of focus. Past sites have included Guatemala and Haiti, both countries with poor maternal infant outcomes. There, faculty and students have provided health education classes, and conducted primary care, home and prenatal care visits. While directly working with families, they also seek to empower the country’s midwives and community health workers to address maternal health issues and empower patients to take charge of their health. Thanks to the Samberg Family Global Endowed Fellowship Fund, Penn Nursing students will continue to have opportunities like this to share knowledge and skills with healthcare professionals in developing countries, while learning from these individuals and expanding their own scopes of practice and concepts of healthcare systems. “With this gift, the Sambergs are pioneering a new area of support,” said Nancy Biller, Assistant Dean for Global Health Affairs. “We hope to replicate this many times over in the future with the goal of ensuring that every Penn Nursing student has access to a global experience.”

Honoring Our Partners The collaboration between Penn Nursing and the Hillman Foundation has spanned decades, and is an extraordinary example of what a scholarship program can accomplish. Because of the late Rita Hillman’s generosity, the Hillman Scholars program provided invaluable aid to BSN and MSN students for nearly 25 years, creating an army of 315 accomplished graduates who have gone on to provide exceptional bedside care and leadership in New York and beyond. In 2011, Ahrin Mishan expanded on his grandmother’s vital mission by creating the Hillman Scholars in Nursing Innovation program, which is designed to foster nurse-led innovation that transforms care through support for an exciting new BSN-toPhD program first piloted at Penn Nursing.
With the advent of the Affordable Care Act, rising population totals and expanding life expectancies, our healthcare system faces a growing inability to meet the demand for care. Nurses are the largest segment of our healthcare workforce and could play a vital role in solving these challenges with greater support for nursing education and nurse-led innovation. Around the world, there are two foundations that have set themselves apart in their commitment to this cause; the Rita & Alex Hillman Foundation and the Jonas Center for Nursing and Veterans Healthcare. This past spring, in recognition of their incredible partnership and influence on Penn Nursing, the nursing profession and the field of healthcare, former Dean Afaf I. Meleis awarded each of these foundations with the Dean’s Medal for Distinguished Service, one of the School’s highest external awards. The awards were presented to Ahrin Mishan, Executive Director of the Hillman Foundation, and Donald and Barbara Jonas, founders of the Jonas Center.

While newer to nursing philanthropy, the Jonas Center has already had an indomitable impact on the education of nursing doctoral students through the Jonas Nurse Leaders Scholar Program and the Jonas Veterans Healthcare program. These initiatives aim to increase the number of advanced practice nurses who can fill critical roles as primary care providers and nursing school faculty, and who are committed to advancing veterans’ healthcare. These programs currently support nearly 600 doctoral students nationwide, with a goal to support 1,000 scholars by 2020. Faced with the many emerging challenges and opportunities posed by healthcare today, it has taken extraordinary leadership on the part of the Hillman Foundation and the Jonas Center to sustain and evolve these programs over the years. Their partnership continues to prepare nurse leaders and promote science that transforms healthcare systems and communities worldwide. “We may be able to count the number of Hillman and Jonas Scholars,” said Dr. Meleis. “But we could never put a number on the lives and families that will be impacted by the Jonas and Hillman Families’ generosity.”
Celebrating a Passionate Leader As the dynamic and inspiring Dean of Penn Nursing from January 2002 to June 2014, Dr. Afaf I. Meleis empowered scholars and friends alike over her lifetime of leadership to have a global impact on practice, research and health. On May 15, 2014, close to 500 family members, friends, and colleagues gathered to celebrate Dr. Meleis’ extraordinary legacy. Thanks to the generosity of several lead donors, and the support of all in attendance, Dr. Meleis was surprised at the event with the news that a $5 million women’s health endowment had been created in her honor, formally establishing the Afaf I. Meleis Directorship of Penn Nursing’s Center for Global Women’s Health (CGWH). Having founded the Center for Global Women’s Health in 2011, Dr. Meleis built on the School’s longtime commitment to women’s health by creating a formal outlet for faculty and students from across disciplines to work together on research, clinical practice, and the empowerment of women in improving health broadly. Women play a powerful role in influencing the health of their children, families and communities, yet they are all still the majority of the world’s poor, unschooled, underfed and unhealthy. Through global clinical research projects and dialogues like the Healthy Cities: Healthy Women conference series, Dr. Meleis ensured Penn Nursing was at the frontlines of developing initiatives that enhance the health of women and that of families, communities and nations.
populations are given a voice. Throughout her time in academia, she has dedicated the same focus to giving voice to the faculty and students she has guided to advance nursing education, health policy and models of care. She has also worked hard to raise the visibility of the nursing profession, Penn Nursing, and the growing importance of addressing the social inequities facing women and their families around the world. “In raising these funds, we were, of course, paying tribute to a dear friend and an inspirational leader, but we also wanted to ensure that Penn Nursing continues to have a strong voice for women, as it has throughout so much of its history,” said Claire Fagin, Dean Emerita of Penn Nursing. “We are now able to ensure that the Center for Global Women’s Health will always be dedicated to understanding the power and privilege of voice and supported to improve the lives and health of women and, through women, the world.” Establishing the Afaf I. Meleis Directorship is a tribute worthy of Dean Meleis’ legacy, and it will ensure that the Center has a permanent endowment directed at giving the best that our Penn Nursing scholars and our science has to offer women of the world and the many lives that they touch.
A leading expert on international health and immigrant and women’s health, Dr. Meleis has dedicated her career to ensuring vulnerable

Laboratory of Innovative and Translational Nursing Research Penn Nursing is one of the few schools of nursing in the U.S. to host a dedicated nursing research lab focused on explorations by faculty from such diverse disciplines as: nursing, pharmacy, cardiology, environmental sciences, physiology and many more. Every day, Penn Nursing faculty and students use this lab to explore interactions among biological, behavioral, and social factors that can lead to new science that will advance health worldwide.
(above left) The clinical section of the Laboratory of Innovative and Translational Research is equipped with a metabolic cart that analyzes the breath-by-breath ratio of oxygen to carbon dioxide. Here, Dr. Kathleen Sturgeon fits a nursing student with head gear to conduct a cardio-pulmonary test, a stress test to demonstrate how the body responds to increasing workloads. (above right) Ruby Holland, C’16, uses the cryostat, a machine designed to cut tissue at -20C, to cut rat brains into 30 micrometer sections. She can then perform immunohistochemistry on these tissue samples, which is a method of using fluorescent antibodies to tag proteins of interest for further study. 14
(top left) Florencia Arisi, C’16, uses an Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) to measure heart cell response to different stimuli, such as beta adrenergic pathway blockers, insulin, and cytokines. The ELISA utilizes several proteins, enzymes, and antibodies for the quantification of cell properties which provide a more complete picture of what is going on in the cell.
(top right) By using the Protein Simple machine to employ molecular techniques such as western blotting, Drs. Kathleen Sturgeon and Geetha Muthukumaran can visualize relative changes in cardiac proteins that respond to exercise.
(middle) Researchers are able to culture cardiac muscle cells and stem cells to better understand chemical responses to exercise training. Here, Dr. Erica Chirico visually inspects the viability of cardiac muscle cells using an EVOS cell imaging microscope.
(bottom) Stem cell therapy is being studied in myocardial infarction patients as a way to improve heart function. To study how exercise can improve stem cell therapy efficacy, mice with heart attacks were given a dose of stem cells after an acute bout of exercise. Slices of these mouse hearts were then stained to show the stem cells. This technique allows one to see how stem cells are delivered to the damaged regions of the heart after exercise, and whether or not they improve the proliferation of the surrounding damaged tissue more-so than in an non-exercised model.
