We gathered together for the Annual meeting of ONL - NE (Organization of Nurse Leaders New England) this past week in beautiful Newport, RI! Together, we networked, leaned in, and learned the further critical importance of our leadership and its impact on the work we do. We celebrated leadership and those who accomplished honored awards and scholarships for educational advancement.

Additionally, I have passed the gavel to my dear friend and colleague, Dr. Nadia Raymond. Congratulations to you! I have all the confidence and trust in you.

My time as President of ONL-NE has been a true honor and privilege to serve the nurse leaders of New England. Together, we will continue to grow, lead, and make a lasting impact on healthcare and our nursing profession. ONL-NE will remain steadfast in its impact on fostering an environment where nurse leaders will grow and impact healthcare.

I’m looking forward to the upcoming ONL Annual Meeting on June 4–5! Join us as we come together to connect, collaborate, and advance nursing leadership. I hope to see you there! https://www.oonl.org/annual-meeting

This week is EMS Week, and I would like to recognize the incredible EMS professionals we have at Middlesex Health who serve our communities with compassion and courage. Thank you for the lifesaving care you provide, the calm you bring in critical moments, and your dedication to our patients and teams. We are deeply grateful for all that you do!
