The School of Nursing presented a dedication banner to the Health Services office in recognition of the outstanding work they have done to prevent, detect, and stop the spread of COVID-19 on campus.
The banner reads, "United in caring, courage, and compassion. The School of Nursing thanks the Health Services team for going above and beyond for our students amid the COVID-19 pandemic."
The recognition was a surprise to the Health Services team, who were very appreciative of the School of Nursing's support.
"The entire Health Services team has put in an extraordinary number of hours this year to keep our campus as safe and healthy as possible during the pandemic," said Doreen Bischof, FNP-BC, '17, director of Health Services. "When Susan LaRocco [Nursing dean] and Kathleen Pecoraro [instructor of Nursing], on behalf of the School of Nursing, surprised us at our office and presented us with our banner, it brought me to tears. It's difficult to put into words how much this meant to our team and how proud we are to display the banner outside our office. A huge thank you to the School of Nursing for taking the time to recognize the work we do – it means so much coming from our Nursing colleagues!"
