Susan Suleski

Marquette University’s College of Nursing, Milwaukee, will roll out the red carpet in November to honor some of the finest nurses in south eastern Wisconsin. Each will make cameo appearances during the school’s first annual Cameos of Caring Awards Gala.

The Cameos of Caring program honors exceptional nurses who work directly with patients in acute care hospitals, long term care facilities, ambulatory care or home care. At the event, the award-winning nurses, who are selected by their hospitals or health care systems, will tell their stories through a short video – or cameo – during the gala event.

Marquette Clinic for Women & Children

The Marquette Clinic for Women & Children uses a holistic nursing model that addresses the patients’ lifestyle and psycho-social factors that influence health beyond what can be treated with medication, said Mary Ann Lough, clinic director, and Christine Shaw, one of the clinics’ advanced practice nurses. The grant-funded clinic is operated by Marquette University College of Nursing faculty, including Lough and Shaw, and graduate and undergraduate nursing students provide no-cost care to uninsured women as well as a small number of uninsured children not covered by BadgerCare, the state’s low-cost health insurance program for the working poor.
