Sue Powers, RNMS, Associate Director for the Center for Healthy Living, distinctly remembers her discomfort when her mother was undergoing treatment for breast cancer almost 20 years ago and couldn’t find a comfortable bra. “We had nowhere to turn for help,” Sue said, “so I decided that I would find a way to create a safe space for women to shop for bras, wigs, and other items that would help them while undergoing cancer treatments.”

Who was #Onesimus?
A slave from Boston who introduced inoculation to his slave owner, Cotton Mather. The information Onesimus shared with Mather would later prove extremely useful during a smallpox outbreak in Boston. During his talks with Onesimus, Mather learned that back in his African homeland (the exact location is unknown), he was injected with a small amount of smallpox and was later found to be immune to the disease.

Who is Dr. #SolomonCarter?
Dr. Carter was a protégé of Alois Alzheimer, the German doctor responsible for beginning the research of degenerative brain diseases. The first clinical review of Alzheimer’s cases recorded up to that time was published by Dr. Solomon Carter Fuller in 1904.
It was Dr. Carter's work that catapulted the search for a cure to Alzheimer's. We celebrate his contribution to this #MedicalMoment in #BlackHistory.
Congratulations to Christa Krafton, RN for being recognized as a DAISY Award recipient! 🙌 She was nominated for her work managing a team that focused and collaborated to care for a severely septic patient.
"A decision made by Christa turned the tide by allowing no delay in acute patient care. The DAISY Award recommendation is for the wonderful outcome of a very sick patient, due to Christa's actions and her direction of the staff in a difficult situation."
Great work, Christa!
