JUNE 2024
Rachel Zook Memorial Speaker Series debuted during Nurses Week
The very first event in the Rachel Zook Memorial Speaker Series was held during Nurses Week in May. Marcus Engel, a national speaker and author, presented The Other End of the Stethoscope at The Fawcett Center in Columbus.
Engel’s keynote speech detailed the experience of a young patient during hospitalization, the care and compassion shown by health care professionals, and the importance of health care professionals to be safe, secure and appreciated in their role within this sacred field.
This special event, which was provided at no cost to participants, was funded through a generous estate gift from alumna Rachel Zook to the Our Legacy of Learning Campaign. This campaign, conducted by the Mount Carmel Foundation, raised more than $3.1 million to support nursing education.
