Recognizing American Academy of Nursing Fellows and Living Legends
The American Academy of Nursing (AAN) this week inducts its 2019 fellows, and honors five fellows as Living Legends at its Transforming Health Driving Policy Conference, in Washington D.C. The Center to Champion Nursing in America, an initiative of AARP Foundation, AARP, and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, will join RWJF on Friday to co-host a reception to honor Future of Nursing: Campaign for Action colleagues being inducted as AAN fellows and 2019 AAN Living Legends. That list includes AARP National Volunteer President Catherine Alicia Georges, and RWJF fellows, scholars, and grantees.
