Nursing Diversity Program Honors Gloria Jones-Bey ’67

1948

Inspired by Jones-Bey, the late vice president of patient care at Meriter Hospital and an LIU graduate, UnityPoint Health-Meriter Hospital in Wisconsin is helping more people of color enter the nursing ranks. The new Gloria Jones-Bey Nursing Assistant Program provides classroom and clinical training to employees who identify as people of color, paid time to complete the training, and fees waived for licensure exams.
