Promoting Health Equity through Nursing Science: Pathways and Partnerships

Join us for a dinner and research symposium hosted jointly by NYU Meyers College of Nursing and Howard University College of Nursing and Allied Health Sciences to honor the legacy of nursing trailblazer Dr. Bernardine Mays Lacey and to recognize nursing's contributions to health equity. 

During her 60-year career, Dr. Bernardine Mays Lacey held several notable positions, including founding dean and professor at Western Michigan University School of Nursing and special assistant at the Children's Defense Fund. She helped found Federal City Shelter in Washington, DC—one of the first nurse-managed health clinics for the unhoused. She was a passionate advocate for diversity and inclusion in healthcare. Lacey, a trailblazing nursing leader, researcher, educator, and mentor, died in March 2022.
