UCSF School of Nursing Distinguished Alumna and Alpha Eta Chapter Legacy Leader, Marilyn Chow, PhD, RN, FAAN, Vice President of National Patient Care Services at Kaiser Permanente, is retiring after 45 years in nursing.

Dr. Marilyn Chow lead the National Patient Care Services Division and set the vision and direction for Kaiser's care strategy and development of the nursing workforce. With more than 52,000 nurses across seven U.S. regions, Kaiser is one of the largest employers of nurses in the United States. Marilyn performed her national executive nursing role with an unwavering commitment to compassion, caring science, innovation, and safe, high-quality care to Kaisers 10.6 million members.

Dr. Marilyn Chow received three degrees from UCSF (School of Nursing ’70, ’72, ’82) and is a nationally renowned healthcare policy expert and thought leader. She served as Program Director for the Robert Wood Johnson Executive Nurse Fellows Program and the UCSF Nursing Health Policy advisory committee. Among her many accomplishments, Marilyn was instrumental in the implementation of Kaiser's Electronic Health Record  and saw the value of capturing nursing data for outcomes research and care quality.


Dr. Chow exemplifies the values of  STTI - "Love, Courage, Honor". Her dedication to nursing, both in practice and academia, serves as a guide post for current and future generations of nurses and nurse leaders. Congratulations!

Also, Congratulations to the 2016 Alpha Eta Research Grant Recipient!

Our 2016 research grant has been awarded to Oluwayemisi E. Olagunju, MSN from Obafemi Awolowo University, Nigeria!

Title of Project:  Effect of Genetic Counselling on Genetic Testing Uptake among Secondary School Students in Ilesa-East Local Government Area

Grant Impact:
A student participant is able to influence his siblings (3 to 4people) his peers/ friends in the group of 4 or more. 410 students that will be involved in both pilot and main study will be influencing the choice of genetic testing for almost 4,000 people.

The 16 teachers will be impacting lives in their school for the average of 25 years or more that they will still be in government service. (The approved year of service for public servants is 35 years in Nigeria). This influence of the teacher in promoting knowledge of prevention of Sickle Cell disease and uptake of genetic testing can reduce the prevalence of the disease for the next generation.
