Radford University’s College of Nursing hosted its inaugural Behavioral Health Nursing Summit, called “Fostering Connection in Nursing Practice: Cultivating Healthy Resilience in Behavioral Health Care.” “The wide variety of participants coming from universities, clinics and hospitals and state agencies reflects the interest in and importance of behavioral health today,” said Deidra Pennington, undergraduate nursing department co-chair.

As National Nurses Month shines a spotlight on the profession’s heroes, Radford University is proud to honor Virginia “Ginger” Burggraf. Her legacy is woven into the very fabric of the Radford University College of Nursing and lives on through every student she mentored, every program she built and every life she touched. Her story is a reminder that sometimes the biggest changes come from those who quietly rewrite the rules – who see what’s missing and choose to build it themselves. (fb)
