Professor Marjorie (Marge) Funk, the Helen Porter Jayne and Martha Prosser Jayne Professor of Nursing, was celebrated at her retirement party in June, with many colleagues paying tribute to her 34 years at YSN and her contribution to research in the wise use of technology for critically ill patients.

These were then donated to St. Raphael’s Birth Center for the Newborns in Need program, for families served by the YSN midwifery faculty practice at the Vidone Birth Center.
