Messages from Nursing Leadership

Helen Staples-Evans, DNP, RN, NE-BC
Sr. VP Patient Care Services/Chief Nursing Officer
Loma Linda University Health Hospitals

"The best and the most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched.  They must be felt with the heart.” Helen Keller   At Loma Linda University Health, we provide care that is felt with the heart and I am so proud and grateful to be part of the Loma Linda University Health family.  Each day  I witness high performing teams working together to provide family-centered care in an environment that allows our patients, families, visitors, staff and physicians  to have a voice that is heard, listened to and  respected. Excellent patient care happens when nursing staff have the education, the needed staff, incorporates research and applying the evidence, at the center of their decisions. 

Looking to the Future, "For us who Nurse, our Nursing is a thing, which, unless in it we are making progress every year, every month, every week, take my word for it we are going back. The more experience we gain, the more progress we can make. Let us never consider ourselves finished nurses....we must be learning all of our lives“ Florence Nightingale. 

I am honored to work with each one of you as we live our mission.
