A Founding Dean with a New Vision for Healthcare Education

Everyone in nursing has a story that changes them. Diane White’s happened at the Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta in the nineties. While she was working the night shift in the trauma unit, a police officer was brought in who had been shot in the head. He was young, around 24 years old. “I didn’t figure he would last long,” White says. “But the parents weren’t ready to let go, so we just kept moving with what we’re doing.”
