InfuSystem’s Susan Wozniak Receives 2013 ONS “Excellence in Oncology Nursing Health Policy & Advocacy” Award
InfuSystem
Holdings, Inc. (NYSE MKT: INFU) (“InfuSystem” or the “Company”), a
leading national provider of infusion pumps and related services for the
healthcare industry in the United States, today announced that Susan
Wozniak, R.N., M.S.H.S, O.C.N®., Director of Clinical
Research, Education, and Innovation at InfuSystem, has been named winner
of the 2013
“Excellence in Oncology Nursing Health Policy & Advocacy” Award.
She will accept the coveted honor at the Oncology Nursing Society (ONS)
Annual Congress in Washington, DC, April 25-28.
ONS excellence awards recognize members for outstanding contributions
and achievements within their particular fields of nursing expertise.
“Susan’s constant advocacy on behalf of her patients, peers, and the
profession is a beacon for nursing,” said Alec Stone, ONS director of
health policy. “She is deserving of the ONS Advocacy Award precisely
because—like nursing itself—Susan is an activist by nature, not just by
day. Her leadership in advancing health issues, evidence-based research,
patient care, and nursing education make her a shining example of what
is best about all nurses.”
Commenting on her selection, Ms. Wozniak said: “Nurses have many
professional responsibilities of which advocacy is just one. Yet, it is
a critical one that affords the opportunity to create a legacy. I have
learned that patience is a virtue, persistence is key, and, when nurses
talk, legislators stop to listen. It is humbling to have been nominated
by members of the Metro Detroit ONS for work that I cherish and a
special honor to have been selected as the national recipient of this
excellence award. There are, indeed, so many unsung nurses who advocate
forcibly for their patients every day in so many ways.”
Speaking on behalf of all of Ms. Wozniak’s InfuSystem colleagues, Chief
Executive Officer, Eric Steen expressed admiration for her
accomplishments. “We are all genuinely privileged to work alongside
someone with the skills, dedication, and perhaps most important, grace,
that Susan exhibits every day,” he said. “We are proud to have her
represent all of us in this way.”
In addition to her formal job duties, Ms. Wozniak is a state of Michigan
representative to the National Patient Advocate Foundation President’s
ELITE Council; current President of ANA-Michigan; and Board member,
Outreach Education Coordinator, and the Past President to the Metro
Detroit Oncology Nursing Society.
