Her focus on vulnerable and underrepresented communities embodies the goals of this endowed chair. Her work centers on identifying, reducing and preventing use of alcohol and illicit drugs. She is acutely aware that nursing's role in clinical care is to go beyond medical diagnoses, to know each patient as an individual and understand the broader context of that person's life.
