The Association of Public Health Nurses’ commitment to equity, inclusion, fairness, and respect for human dignity are cornerstones of our professional practice.
When issues arise that threaten our ability to promote and protect the health of populations, we work purposefully to resolve them and uphold the principles that guide our work.
The public health emergency of racism is killing, injuring, and disenfranchising people in communities across America. . Racism is a public health emergency that we have a professional as well as ethical duty to address. We believe that we must address this emergency by working professionally and ethically to dismantle it.

What do you love most about being a public health nurse?
I love that I can use my skills as a nurse and a public health professional to make improvements to how we provide services to the public. Through program participation such as Fetal Infant Mortality Review, I have been able to create education tools, meet with providers and change processes on a systems level to assist the reduction of negative health outcomes. I also precept a lot of students and they too have created and analyzed surveys, created resource packets for both staff and the general public. What I am very proud of is advocating for community participatory research to reduce the Black infant mortality disparity. I was able to host a focus group with black women and synthesize the qualitative data from that group thematically. That focus group led to members of the community creating their own advocacy group. I also introduced and advocated for a study on the Black birthing experience in Frederick to assess root causes linked to disparate Black maternal and infant health outcomes.
Why did you become involved with APHN; what value has it contributed to you?
I believe it is important to network with other public health nurses and to contribute to public health as a unique specialty in the profession of nursing. I am so grateful for the presence and promise of the APHN.
Please share a fun fact about yourself.
I am a singer – soprano and am quite accomplished but you will only hear me sing at church.
