OUTSTANDING ALUMNI ACHIEVEMENT AWARD “[My staff] are the people who run into the building that’s on fi re. To be part of that is a privilege and an honor. It doesn’t matter how tired, or somedays how hard it gets; the work we’re in is about saving lives.”
ANGELIQUE RICHARD, PhD ’99, RN, Senior Vice President, Hospital Operations and Chief Nursing Executive, Rush System for Health; Associate Dean for Practice, Rush University College of Nursing
DISTINGUISHED ALUMNI AWARD “There are a lot of places where nurses don’t have the same voice, where nurses aren’t seen as partners in outcomes and managing the patients.
At our organization, nurses are really seen as leaders and as integral to achieving the overall mission.”
BRIAN M. STAHULAK, BSN ’97, DNP, MBA, RN, NEA-BC, Vice President and Chief Nursing Offi cer, Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago
