Where in Baltimore is the
Hopkins Nurse?
 |
Charlie Alexander, MSN/MBA '02
President and CEO
The Living Legacy Foundation
What I do: Guide the clinical and strategic direction-and lead over
100 staff members-for the organ and tissue recovery program for the State of
Maryland. The program facilitates over 600 local organ transplants and
thousands of tissue transplants every year.
Why Baltimore?
Baltimore has the unique mix of academia, culture, access to the ocean,
mountains, and Chesapeake Bay. For me it provides the ideal balance between
work and pleasure, while offering a great mix of small town and city life
appeal.
Susana Vega '07
Nurse Clinician
Johns Hopkins Hospital
What I do: Work as a
nurse at the Johns Hopkins Hospital in Weinberg 4C in the Department of
Surgery, volunteer at two organizations supporting Baltimore's victims of
intimate partner violence-House of Ruth, Maryland and Adelante Familia--and
take graduate courses at the Johns Hopkins University School of Nursing.
Why Baltimore? I love
Baltimore for not denying what it is, with all its quirks and vices and
charm. It thrives with its own unique character and strength of spirit in
the face of troubles. It's real.
Doris Addo-Glover '92
Senior Clinical Quality Specialist
CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield
What I do: Manage
cultural diversity and health disparities initiatives, administer cultural
diversity training, and develop partnerships with communities and
institutions.
Why Baltimore? I have
lived in the Baltimore area for over 20 years.
Baltimore has much to offer-warmth, friendliness and so much more in
academic institutions, health care facilities, careers, art, social life and
history. This is a town after my heart!
Deborah McCleary, RN, BSN
Patient Care Manager, Medical ICU and Rapid Response Team
Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center
What I do: Manage the
Medical Intensive Care Unit and Rapid Response Team at Johns Hopkins Bayview
Medical Center. I lead an exceptional team of dedicated nurses, techs,
secretaries, and nursing students to provide cutting-edge care for
critically ill patients and those in crisis.
Why Baltimore? I love
living on the edge of the city where I can access the culture (concerts,
plays, aquarium), dining opportunities (LOVE the crab and crabcakes!), an
international airport, and even outdoor recreation. Baltimore provides us a
gateway to great neighborhoods and the world!
