Becoming a nurse was an accomplishment she achieved many years ago without realizing the true implications this career choice would have on her life. Nursing has helped her to grow in ways she could never have dreamed. Had she taken any other path in life, no matter how financially successful, it is her belief she would not have developed her current level of self-realization and personal satisfaction. Nursing has allowed her to travel through varies avenues that have led to many successes and culminating love for her community and Africa.

Early in Diane’s nursing career she recognized the health disparities that exist amongst African Americans and others in low socioeconomic communities.
Feeling the weight of this painful realization, she had to decide whether to take the low road of “suffering in silence” or take the high road to “do something about it.” This was the start of her efforts to educate and provide health screening for her community. Diane has been instrumental in creating community programs for health education and screening, prostate screening, hypertension, living with diabetes and confidence education for girls. Diane has been a valued member of our Board for many years and her passion to bring wellness to her community has opened many doors for us to fulfill our mission.
