When the dream didn’t “fade with age”, Alumni Assn. Board Member Cathy Davis ’04 followed it. At 40, the mother of three entered GSC and took on the role of student. Within a few years, she had graduated, passed boards and began working as a nurse. For the past five years, she has been an optional case manager at Hospice of Cincinnati. We caught up with Cathy to get her take on her career, being an Alumni Board member, and driving a bus! LEARNING LIFE LESSONS: I have met patients who, in their short life, have made a long lasting difference in this world. Life truly is about quality, not quantity. I am thankful for the moments of faith and love that I have been witness to simply because I am a nurse. THE NURSING BUG: I have dreamed of being a nurse since I was in elementary school. But I was encouraged by friends and counselors to pursue a degree in business. I earned that in 1985; however, the nursing dream didn’t go away. I finally went back to school at GSC and graduated in 2004 with my nursing degree. WHY YOU BECAME A HOSPICE NURSE: After graduating from GSC I just knew in my heart that I wanted to be a Hospice nurse. Working with patients and their families in their homes has been a privilege. It allows me to share my personal faith and learn life lessons from the amazing families in our community. Lessons such as the importance of the gift of family, love, time with our loved ones, care, respect, dignity and forgiveness.

YOUR BOARD INVOLVEMENT: We have quarterly meetings to help decide activities of the Alumni Association. I’m also in charge of the Cheer Up/ Cheer On committee – personal notes we write to alumni to congratulate them or send condolences or get well wishes.

Steps from The President
I
n December of 2010, when President Obama gave Purple Hearts to deserving military personnel at Bagram Air Force Base in Afghanistan; Susie was there. When the first family traveled on Air Force One to Arizona in January to attend the Memorial Service for victims of the Tucson shootings; Susie went with them. And a few years ago, when President Bush’s dog Beasley went to the veterinarian; Susie accompanied her. Wait a minute, back up! What was that last one again? Yes, Susie (Beverly) Adams Maroon ’87, Maj. USAF, NC never knows what she’ll be doing on any particular day as the Senior Presidential Nurse for the White House. Susie is one of seven nurses who serve in the White House Medical Unit (WHMU). She and her fellow officers are from all services of the military. Susie, a US Air Force Major has been on the WHMU staff since 2007. The 25 physicians, nurses and physician’s assistants serving at the WHMU are responsible for the 24-hour per day medical care of the President and Vice-President and their families, for the White House Staff, and anyone else who is on the 18 Acres (the White House grounds). That can include official visitors or tourists. The WHMU clinic in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building provides emergency and acute care to people on the 18 Acres. It also is responsible for providing or administering immunizations to White House Staff traveling around the world. During nighttime hours, a staff member is on-call on the 18 Acres of the White House, ready to respond to any emergency. Another WHMU duty is medical advance planning for Presidential and Vice-Presidential travel. A medical team, usually consisting of a nurse, physician or physician’s assistant, visits the destination before the official trip – determining emergency medical procedures should an unexpected situation arise.
3
Whenever the President leaves the 18 Acres, a physician, nurse and physician’s assistant travel with them to be available for any medical request. “Our motto is available, but invisible,” Susie said, “We’re always there and we carry with us the medical supplies we’ll need to care for the “principal” we’re traveling with, but you’d rarely notice us.” Last June, she was named the Senior Presidential Nurse. Susie is now responsible for coordinating all of the nursing care for the First Family and travels with President Obama when he leaves the White House. When he is on Air Force One, she’s there with him and is responsible for maintaining the medical unit on the jet. Her most recent international trip was in November when the President traveled on a 14-day journey around the world. They visited five countries - Japan, Indonesia, South Korea, India and Portugal. When she is in other countries, Susie says she feels she represents the White House, medicine in the United States, and the nurses of the US. Sometimes, that’s daunting.
“I get to quietly observe the most amazing places and events,” Susie said. “I’ve been so many places, I can’t even count. But when you’re out there, it’s a huge sense of responsibility. The weight of the job, knowing that it’s me that will have to step up if anything happens…. I know I’m qualified, I know I’m well trained and that goes back to my affinity to Good Sam. The base I got at Good Samaritan Hospital School of Nursing, it was a true foundation.” While in other countries, Susie has observed that nurses in the US are so much more respected than in many places. In Russia, for instance, nurses in the wards don’t hold high status. Most continue to wear special uniforms, including nursing caps, and do not receive the level of respect that you see in the US. The types of medical facilities she sees can vary from cutting edge to basic and austere. “You can be in a modern New York hospital one day and in a volunteer-run medical facility in Arusha, Africa, the next,” she notes. “You just never know what you’ll find.”
It’s a job that gives lasting memories. Like the time she was part of the medical team assigned to care for the medical needs of Pope Benedict XVI while he was in the US, spending a week in Washington, DC, and New York as part of his traveling party. Or the emotions she experienced watching the faces of the service personnel who received those Purple Hearts from the President in Iraq and Afghanistan. Susie comes from a Good Sam family; several family members have graduated from the nursing program over the years. It was natural choice for her to seek her nursing diploma at GSHSN. When she graduated in 1987, she worked as an Emergency Room nurse for several years. “I joined the Air Force in 2000 because of their great educational benefits. That’s what drew me in,” Susie said. She worked in Emergency Services for a few years and then went to Flight School in 2003, learning how to move and care for large numbers of patients during air transport. “Flight School was fascinating. We learned how a person’s body is affected by flight transport and how to care for patients in the air. We could be caring for as few as a dozen people or up to 70 … generally with two nurses and three medics doing everything,” she explained. Hours after Hurricane Katrina swept through the Gulf Coast, Susie arrived at
“I know I‟m qualified, I know I‟m well trained and that goes back to my affinity to Good Sam. The base I got at the School, it was a true foundation.” the New Orleans International Airport with the first aero medical evacuation crew. She was instrumental in the evacuation of more than 2,500 patients in 96 hours, the largest patient movement in aero-medical evacuation history. She was cited for her efforts with the Air Force Commendation Medal with two Oak Leaf Clusters, one of many awards and decorations she has received for her service in the Air Force. Susie served in three deployments as a Flight Nurse, including a tour in Africa. When she returned from that deployment, an email listing the White House opening piqued her interest. She realized she met all of the requirements and officially submitted for the position. After an interview process, Susie was offered the position and she began her work as a White House Nurse in April, 2007.
Susie (right) was Troop Commander for one of the first aeromedical flight crews that responded to Hurricane Katrina. She worked with the Disaster Medical Assistance Teams to triage patients for evacuation. She received an Air Force Commendation Medal with two Oak Leaf Clusters for her efforts.
Her first night on the White House team is another lasting memory. Working on the overnight shift, she received a call from a voice that sounded a bit under the weather. The caller said he was Vice-President Cheney and he wasn’t feeling well. Susie thought at first that it was a staff member playing an initiation gag on her because the Vice-President being sick on her first night at the White House just couldn’t be happening. But, Susie says, something told her to take the caller seriously and it really was Vice-President Cheney and he really was ill. And her most unusual assignment as a White House nurse? Susie cites her stint as a triage nurse
for Beasley. “Because we’re medical, I guess we’re thought of first when the dog needs to go to the vet. And since I’d grown up on a farm in Kentucky, well, somehow they decided it was natural to ask me,” she said. “It was an interesting lesson. Nothing is off limits when you’re working here.” Susie has now worked under two administrations – the Bushes and the Obamas. She calls both families cordial and respectful to the staff. She says it’s been fascinating to have witnessed the change in administrations and to see the first African American president preside in the White House. Of course, the environments of the families are different too. With the Obamas having children, she said, it livens things up a bit from the quieter setting of the Bush household. “There’s a swing set now, and a lot of chatter when the children are around. It’s an active place,” she notes. Susie’s tour will end in 2012 and then she’ll go wherever the military sends her next. Ultimately, she would like to teach and work with young nurses. “I want them to know you really can and should have big dreams. I never would have thought I’d end up taking care of world leaders or observing history as it happens in front of me. Our GSC nursing students should remember - you can’t dream big enough!” Editor’s Note: Plans are being made for Susie to speak at a Good Samaritan College Nursing Forum in the Fall of 2011. Look for information in future publications, on the website, through Twitter, Facebook or emails.
