Message from the Dean

As Dean of the School of Nursing at Ponce Health Sciences University, I am delighted to be a part of this innovative and unique school, where I can use my 28 years of experience as a nurse, educator, and leader—never leaving aside being a constant student where I will learn something new daily. I am committed to following the vision and mission we established as a nursing school to achieve the highest levels of educational quality for future nursing professionals. Our mission is to prepare nursing professionals capable of offering holistic care, respecting all stages of growth and development, their patients’ beliefs and experiences, and focusing care in the multicultural context. Our mission is to guide our students to be competent professionals and equip them for the many roles and settings where our profession is growing. Therefore, nursing education at our School inspires discovery and lifelong learning, cultivates respect and trust, awareness of oneself and those around us, and other values important to us to act on local and global concerns to ensure health for everyone.
