Nurse executive

Col. Stephanie Marshall, assistant chief nurse atTripler Army Medical Center, has graduated from the Johnson & Johnson-Wharton Fellows Program in Management for Nurse Executives.

"Nursing leadership is critical to keeping health-care policy focused on the patient, by putting patient care needs first — above considerations of managed care, cost commitment, efficiency and effectiveness," Marshall said. "If we lose sight of what the patient needs, we lose our whole purpose of being."

For 19 years, the Johnson & Johnson-Wharton Fellows Program has recognized the importance of nurse executives in shaping strategic planning decisions within their own health-care institutions, as well as health policy decisions that are made regionally, nationally and globally.
