Prevent Heart Disease, Win Prizes

Women are masterful multi-taskers. Yet juggling family schedules, managing household details, supervising kids' schoolwork, and preparing for daily conference calls leave many women scarce time to prioritize their own health. And constant stress takes a toll on the heart.

As we wrap up January, how are you doing on your new year’s resolutions? If you’re not where you'd like to be, don’t feel bad. FranklinCovey, a time management firm, says one-third of people don't keep their resolutions past January.

The good news is you can begin again.

"The time is always right to do what's right." This quote from Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in an address at Cornell College in 1962 still rings true 60 years later.

As we start the new year, our nimbleness and resilience are being tested again with the surge of the new Omicron variant. As a result, and until further notice, Goldfarb will immediately reinstate controlled reentry and employ strict safety practices by decreasing the number of people allowed inside the building.

Dear Students, Faculty and Staff,

Following an extensive national search, Barnes-Jewish College Goldfarb School of Nursing has named Angela Clark, PhD, RN, MSN, CNE, FAAN, the Maxine Clark and Bob Fox President and professor, effective May 1, 2022. Dr. Clark will report to the College’s Board of Trustees and Bob Cannon, Group President of BJC HealthCare.

Last week, many of us celebrated Christmas. For some, Thanksgiving officially kicked off the holiday season. For others, the holidays started in September. Growing as a community means growing in understanding about the beautiful diversity of holidays. Being mindful of diverse holidays brings more opportunities for inclusion—and a stronger Goldfarb community.

Whether or not you celebrate any holiday, Goldfarb wishes you a MERRY EVERYTHING and HAPPINESS ALWAYS.

Below is only a sampling of holidays and their meanings:

Hanukkah

In recognition of Veterans Day Nov. 11, Goldfarb wishes to honor and thank our military veterans for their service to our country. These veterans include some our faculty and staff, and former and current students.

GSON is proud to sponsor Veterans and Supporters Together, or VaST, our student club that supports active duty, reserve, and veteran students, as well as military spouses, family and friends. The club also serves veterans in the community. Find VaST on Facebook or on Twitter @GSONVaST.

Are you ready to go pink to save more women's lives?

Regular mammograms are vitally important by detecting cancer at an earlier, more treatable stage.

After joining Goldfarb School of School of Nursing at Barnes-Jewish College, Nancy Ridenour, PhD, APRN, FAAN, The Maxine Clark and Bob Fox President, began to search for ways to help the underserved and increase the number of Black nursing students. She found inspiration in “The Color of Medicine,” a documentary about the historic Homer G. Phillips Hospital that served the St. Louis Black community from 1937 until 1979. Named after its major benefactor, a St. Louis-based Black lawyer and civil rights advocate, Homer G. Phillips Hospital was the world’s largest Black hospital of its time.
