SCHOOL OF

Nursing

This summer, School of Nursing faculty, students and alumni participated in a medical mission to the Lamay Clinic, located high in the mountains of Cusco, Peru. The monthlong trip was arranged in conjunction with the Cleveland Clinic and Case Medical School. Participants provided care to patients of all ages, ran clinics to screen for various health problems, and held classes for patients and staff in Peru. In the evenings, the nurses attended lectures with physicians and medical students. The team collected and brought with them more than 24,000 children’s multivitamins, 6,000 tablets of Vitamin A, and hundreds of pairs of eyeglasses and bottles of skin lotion to distribute to those in need. CSU faculty members Dr. Joan Niederriter, Janet Bessas, Barbara Cavender and Karen Pace were engaged in this service experience with nursing students Catherine Althouse, Sarah Cavender, Anna Niederriter and James Ward, recent graduates Sohini Kadylak and Alison Ohlinger, and alumni Katerine Moner and Antoinette Kramer. Assistant Professor Joan Thoman received the Circle of Hospitals Award from the American Diabetes Association in recognition of her outstanding work in implementing and maintaining the Diabetes Self-Management Skills Training Program at St. Vincent Charity Hospital. She also initiated a multidisciplinary Diabetes Resource Team to address both inpatient and outpatient needs, created a community health workers program for the center, and was key in facilitating the hospital’s affiliation with the Joslin Dia-

betes Center, a teaching and research affiliate of Harvard Medical School. To learn more about the SCHOOL, visit www.csuohio.edu/nursing
