Dr. Elizabeth Madigan sometimes raises eyebrows with her assertion that every nurse is effectively serving as a global health nurse.<\/p>\n

However, the immediate past chief executive officer of Sigma Theta Tau International Honor Society of Nursing maintains that an increasingly interconnected world requires a new perspective for healthcare providers.<\/p>\n

Dr. Elizabeth Madigan, the previous CEO of Sigma Theta Tau International Honor Society of Nursing, is the keynote speaker at the 17th annual Dorothy Hussain Distinguished Lecture on Oct. 1.<\/p><\/div>\n

\u201cIt doesn\u2019t matter where you practice, you\u2019re doing global health whether you know it or not,\u201d Madigan said. \u201cBecause of how the world works with migration and immigration, you\u2019re taking care of patients from other countries or you\u2019re working with nurses from other countries.\u201d<\/p>\n

Madigan will be the keynote speaker at the 17th annual Dorothy Hussain Distinguished Lecture, which this year is focused on advancing global health and equity.<\/p>\n

The free, public lecture hosted by The University of Toledo College of Nursing takes place from 4 to 6 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 1, in Collier Building Room 1000 A\/B on the Health Science Campus. Attendees can also connect virtually, via WebEx.<\/p>\n

Individuals can register to attend in-person or virtually through the College of Nursing website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A native of Wapakoneta, Ohio, Madigan is a registered nurse who has extensively practiced in and researched home healthcare. She has served in senior administrative clinical roles and spent more than two decades on the nursing faculty at Case Western Reserve University, where she led global health initiatives and provided consultation in multiple countries for home care and aging care in the community.<\/p>\n

From 2017 to 2023, she was CEO of Sigma, during which time the nursing honor society added 72 new chapters, including chapters in Ireland, Jamaica, Israel, Scotland, Italy, Croatia, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Indonesia, Finland, Chile and Sierra Leone.<\/p>\n

Sigma Theta Tau is an international nursing organization of more than 100,000 members dedicated to advancing knowledge, teaching, learning and service through practice, education and research.<\/p>\n

Madigan\u2019s lecture at UToledo will focus on migration trends and their impact on healthcare, the potential nursing shortage in the United States and how nurses can make meaningful contributions to global health<\/p>\n

\u201cIn clinical practice, you\u2019re taking care of those patients on that day and you don\u2019t really think about the larger world,\u201d she said. \u201cI\u2019m really trying to get them to think about the bigger picture. There are policy discussions that happen within their communities and the country that are global health issues, and nurses have expertise that can bring value to those discussions. We tend to be a self-deprecating profession, and I\u2019d like us to be a little bolder.\u201d<\/p>\n

Other panelists at this year\u2019s lecture include:<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0 Richard Paat, an internal medicine specialist and chief medical officer for the UToledo CommunityCare Clinics;<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0 Marilynne Wood, professor emerita of nursing at UToledo;<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0 Susan Batten, an associate professor in the College of Nursing; and<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0 Rosario Sanchez, an assistant professor and research administrator of the UToledo Human Trafficking and Social Justice Institute.<\/p>\n

Dr. S. Amjad Hussain, professor emeritus of cardiovascular surgery and humanities at UToledo, will serve as the moderator.<\/p>\n

The lecture is named after the late Dorothy Gladys Hussain, whose professional career spanned 32 years as a staff nurse and critical care nurse at the former Medical College of Ohio Hospital. She was known for patient advocacy and championing patients\u2019 rights.<\/p>\n
