American Academy of Nursing honors Dean Emeritus Rheba de Tornyay
dTC Rheba bioThe AAN renamed its annual fund the Rheba de Tornyay Development Fund in honor of its first president and Living Legend Rheba de Tornyay.
The Academy honors de Tornyay for her extraordinary leadership during her term as president from 1973 to 1974 and her continued efforts to improve care for the elderly.
While the yearly fund will elevate and support a variety of the Academy’s initiatives—including the Nurse Scholar-in-Residence Program, Raise the Voice, and expert panel discussions—every dollar raised will directly support AAN’s mission of transforming healthcare policy and practice through nursing knowledge.
