The IU School of Nursing at Indiana University-Purdue University Columbus (IUPUC) recently recognized two nurses from Margaret Mary Health for their outstanding leadership, clinical knowledge, work ethic and compassion for others.

“It’s exciting to see two of our own caregivers recognized for their compassion and commitment to nursing education,” said Leising. “Every day Becky and Kim make a positive impact on those around them, so it is very fitting that they be honored in this way. At Margaret Mary, we pride ourselves on our excellent nursing staff. They are the heart and soul of our hospital and for that, we are grateful.”
