Huston, STTI President. “It is humbling to be acknowledged by the world of nurses for my creativity and leadership in service, science, and spiritual renewal,” said Taylor. “To God be the glory for my strength, honor and courage. Thanks to my colleagues and future nurses for being the jewels in the crown of quality health care for all.” Taylor is a former American Nurses Association Ethnic Minority Fellow. She has spent the past four decades mentoring nursing students, leading community health initiatives, and creating partnerships across the nation. As a member of the graduate faculty in Southern’s School of Nursing, Taylor teaches research, philosophy of science and health policy.
